+
+I went to China by plane to attend some sort of important keynote about
+cybersecurity or about Python.  We were waiting for it to begin, sitting on
+some benches that reminded me of those installed in churches, in a room that
+had a pretty old style, like the royal stuff you might see in European palaces:
+red walls and sliding doors made of dark wood with gold ornaments.
+

+
+A mom and her son were sitting on a sofa, looking in front of them at the
+outside world through an opened sliding door.  It was cloudy, almost rainy.
+The mom asks her son to reply to some questions, as training to a contest he
+would be a part of.  The only question where a valid answer would lead to mom
+giving a prize (some candy I think) was "What is the war of friendship".
+
+A little girl passes by and hears the question and says "I know the war of
+friendship, I visited it once in Israel".  I guessed that "friendship" (amitié
+in french) might just be something phonetically related to a place in Israel.
+The mom got annoyed at the little girl for "ruining the joke".

+
+I remember someone, maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger, intervening quickly to
+implement the Healer, a tool that... heals.  To do so, he played leapfrog in
+space.  People took his hand to help push him.  Nobody was wearing a spacesuit.
+
+I got teleported into some sort of home improvement store.  Although I am used
+to getting access to the IT department of many buildings using some special
+keys I have that I put in a special machine, the machine instead gives me a
+jute bag labeled "Floor Bag 3".  The machine is the size of a closet and its
+front side is some blue grate.  A blue plate lets me put the keys, and a
+receptacle holds whatever comes out of the machine.  It seems the machine is
+sending me to work on the assembly lines instead of in the IT department.
+
+Half of the store is not really a store but a factory.  Picture a store with a
+large glass entrance with the cashdesks to the left after the entrance, normal
+aisles, the blue machine, then a large conveyor belt surrounded by yellow or
+blue grating with many workers around it.
+
+Towards the back, high above, are a bunch of I-beams supporting some metal
+grating and yellow handrails.  Below it is a large round lamp, like the ones
+you might find in a garage.  That lamp was really necessary because the glass
+entrance is the only other source of light.
+
+All the blue and yellow reminds me of Ikea or Goodyear.
+
+Upon seeing me with the "Floor Bag", another employee working here tells me
+with a smirk that my bosses probably wanted to punish me for some sort of
+mistake I have made.  That employee ends up explaining that "Healer" was some
+sort of pun, a joke for newbies similar to "elbow oil".
