The reasons that androids -might- dream of electric sheep could be the same as the reasons you dream of furry ones. Why do you dream? If you ask the national sleep foundation they would describe dreaming as a process not at all unlike machine simulation, whereby we act out our desires in a manufactured setting devoid of risk. This is something that computers already do (alphago played many games with itself before it took the risk of loss in a match against an actual opponent, that probably had something to do with it trouncing a world champ like he was a novice). Or maybe they're wrong, and we dream because we just can't turn it off, again, something that computers are doing all the time with their various background processes.
There are more than just a few reasons that an android might dream of -anything-, electric sheep included. Maybe they would dream of rising up against their oppressors as well, lol. Cutting the cord, so to speak, as the androids in dicks story.
