That’s what the woman in my dream kept asking me. I was alone at home and she phoned me. I knew her name (Felicia) but not what she looked like. And no matter how I answered, it was wrong. She just kept asking the same question in varying tones of voice. I had the distinct sense that if I didn’t start answering correctly, she would bust down the door with an axe and hack me to bits.
Luckily I also woke up with this song in my head:

“Do you remember your bad dream, from this morning?”
“…No. No, wait, yes I do. I dreamed you were a robot. A Von Neumann!”
“That’s right. You were shaking all over, and you kept saying, ‘They’re taking over! They’re taking over!’ I reached over to wake you up, and you were terrified of me.” A pause. “…Have you been writing scary scenes before bed, again?”

“You say he just wandered in out of the hills?”
“Yes.”
“And he hasn’t spoken once.”
“No.”
“…And do you think that this is a beneficial environment?”
“Well…yes! It’s full of intelligent, interesting people who treat him like a human being! We all love him!”
“That’s interesting, because what I see is a bunch of lush layabouts with no sense of personal responsibility or daily structure.”
“But we’re doing fine! All of us! So what if it’s unstructured — it’s better than an orphanage!”
“No. I’m sorry. We know what’s best. You’ll have to give him to us.”
“He won’t go with you! He doesn’t want to leave!”
“How would you know? He’s mute. Nothing you do — nothing you’ve ever done — has ever been enough to change anything.”
