Yeah, so the paper says that I shall close my eyes and think about something beautiful to get relaxed and get into alpha condition. It sounds stupid and nonsense to me.
"You gotta give it a shot, man. It totally works," said Kak XJ, my math mentor in my cram school. He knows, that us, depraved and tired students who went for this neon-lighted rooms of our bimbel needs some relaxations. He faced it everyday.
"Sounds really stupid to me, Kak" I replied, honestly. It wont work. Kak XJ smiled and then he closed the big bunk of math book in front of me.
"You need to get rid of that," he said. Then he winks and leaved to give instructions to other students. I just shrug and sit down.
That stupid idea seems like a good idea to try now. Or maybe, at this point, humans will do anything stupid enough for them to kill boredom. Or plainly anything. I took a deep breath and said, "Here we go".

Beautiful.
I can't decide whether this is beautiful or not. Everything is dark. Sometimes there are some blue lights flying rapidly across the darkness. I feel sheer cold. I was trying to imagine something different, something beautiful. But I can't. I just can't.
Then suddenly, a fainting light shone upon me. I was surprised and blinded for about five seconds, until I realized where I am:
Space ship.
It's a spaceship shaped like a giant ring. Or more like giant bracelet. It's black but the windows are so many. And I realized that I am not really in the spaceship. I am inside a small space pod, attached to the spaceship.
"This went too far!" I shouted. And by the time I am done panicking, the giant spaceship rumbled and scared me to death. Some red rays coming out of it's windows. And suddenly, boom! A dominoed explosion came off. First, parts of the ship. Seconds later, the ship is on fire.
I almost pissed my own pants until I saw that I have this control panel deck right in front of me. I have the power to control this thing. But how? The numbers and the alphabets are so abstract and unfamiliar. Not even Chinese or Thai. I pushed every buttons and keys but it has done nothing other than making obnoxious clacking sounds. I was frustrated enough when I found out that I was armed with a pen. That I used for my math mentor session.
I went crazy as the fire came closing in to my pod. It was quiet, unlike any fires I have seen. No cracking sound or blazing buzzes, only a silent big red chasing after my existence. The pod was docked with this kind of rope, strangely it was made out of the same rope that we used during outbounds. Not the kind of space-material rope I was expecting. The problem is, this kind of rope gets burned fast. So fast.
In split second, I saw a spacesuit and then I thought "OK, only way outta here". I grabbed my books and pen (strangely they are here) and put it in my-I HAVE IT?-school back pack, then hurried getting my spacesuit on. By the time I'm done, the fire has started burning the rope. It will get here, fast. Then I, half-insanely, looking for an exit.
Suddenly the pod engine got on, and my pod was flashing right out of the space ship's sphere. I was freed, for the moment. The pod accelerated insanely, and I got pushed so hard. It slowly enters the lightspeed, until I realized that the rope is still on fire. And the fire is crawling, fast. Suddenly, I was fainted.
* * *
The spacesuit felt heavy. And I just realized why, I landed on a swamp.
This swamp probably is why the fire was dead. I saw some burning marks all over the pod, and it almost got me in the cockpit. But it's gone. I went out, took my bag and hold my pen tight and observed where I really am.
It's swampy, humid, wet. And blue. Just blue. Not like any other swamps I know, this one is totally rendered in blue. I hold my pen tight and then walked through the forest of blue pines. This is making me dizzy, or a little bit crazy.
Then I heard this eerie sound. A voice. Unlike any human voice, or maybe any Earthling voice. This is scary. The voice is soft, but strong. I am not sure if it is calling my name. But I got really panicked, again, but this time I have no idea what the danger really is, or if it's really quite a danger. Then I strangely chose to walk into the voice, about 500 meters away.
In the middle of this blue forest, a big field of farm. Green farm. A green dot in the middle of blueness. I walked to the only object standing tall in the middle of the farm. A house. Farmer's house. Or does it really owned by a farmer?
