+I remember thinking that that interest I had in a red, dark red wooden shed my
+parents had in their garden.  The garden was really small and the house my
+parents lived in was shaped like a cube.  After some sort of storm, there was a
+door stored inside that shed, just behind the door of the shed itself.
+
+I also thought that I liked to go in that shed while it was raining, because I
+liked the sound of the rain against the roof.  But that bothered my mom because
+she couldn't bring me drinks or candies while I was there.  She just wanted to
+have more opportunities to go see me.
+
+I then remember a large house in the middle of a large garden.  The house had
+4 floors[^floors], not counting the attic.  This apparently was my own house.
+From the second to the fourth floor, we could see from the outside through the
+windows a large amount of books on bookshelves.
+
+While talking to my mom about the fourth floor's books, I told her about the
+kind of books that my grandfather liked, about wars, colonialism and the kind
+of military equipment he was collecting.
+
+On the third floor, although we could also see lots of books on the windows,
+we could also see that parts of the bookshelves were hollowed out to give some
+space to some beds along the outermost walls of the floor.  A balcony was on
+the second floor, with another bookshelf on it.  Half of that bookshelf was
+taken by brown books with golden paintings on them, like old encyclopedias, and
+the bottom half had more modern-looking books.
+
+I remember visiting some buildings at 4 street numbers in the same street as my
+house.  Apparently, all of those numbers were officially linked to one of the
+floors of my house.  At one of those buildings, we get in the main hall of some
+kind of sci-fi cult, with beige walls.  I meet Alec Sadler there, a character
+from the Continuum series (I really recommend you watch it).
+
+When entering a tunnel leading to some kind of paid exhibition there, I see an
+employee checking IDs.  Someone gives my mom some device, and she uses it to
+update her SMC, the chip in her head like Kiera Cameron in Continuum, and she
+passes the ID check.
+
+I try to sneakily ask my mom for the device, but she doesn't understand my hand
+gestures, so I end up not passing the check.  A woman escorts me to the
+reception desk, and I try unsuccessfully to ask much less subtly my mom for the
+device.  When returning to the hall and leaving the stairs that led to the
+tunnel, I again see Alec Sadler, this time in his suit and tie like for when he
+works at Piron, observing some children that were watching a strange demo.
+Some numbered devices were being used to control an AI.  The demo went badly
+while one child was eating a cookie: Alec was telling an employee, with a stern
+tone, that she had picked the wrong device.  The employee was meanwhile being
+lifted up by an invisible force which threw her towards the ceiling.  Alec said
+something like "You know exactly why you are getting this treatment."
+Even if I watched most of Continuum with the original voice and subtitles
+recently, Alec was speaking in the voice of the French version.
+
+[^floors]: The ground floor is not counted. In France, it is usually included
+when counting the floors of a house.
