You know when you're about to fall asleep, and you have a startling, life-changing revelation which you really should get up and write down, but you're too sleepy and it's so life-changing and startling you'll surely remember it in the morning, but then in the morning of course you have forgotten what it was?
That.

I think I've had that experience. But I'm not sure.
Maybe I should have written it down.
At all times I have a notebook in my back pocket, which pocket resides by my bed at night. It really is devastatingly handy.
(I have, in total, seven notebooks on the go. Never too careful.)
I had an experience like that once when I was tripping. Fortunately I wrote it down. It said something like 'move to the Outer Hebrides and grow oranges'.
I don't think that these life-changing revelations are always all that much cop.
i have a notebook full of that kind of thing - i audit it every now and then to see if there is anything useful and/or incriminating in it but it's mostly just illegible.
oooh, and then i saw this and thought of you:

I keep my mobile by my bed.

I have one notebook but it's always next to the computer, probably where I need it least and, as a result, it is largely untroubled. And also covered in piles of official (i.e. scary-looking) papers that I probably need to deal with before Armageddon.
Tim, I'm sure it's common. Now I can relate to Fenchurch in the Hitch-hikers' Guide to the Galaxy.
Emordino, you are very wise. And rich in notebooks.
Patroclus, your revelation reminds me of Snoopy, when Charlie Brown says the secret of happiness is to own a convertible and a lake. If it’s sunny, you can say ‘what a great day to go for a drive in my convertible’ and if it’s raining, you can say ‘the rain is filling up my lake.’
Rosie, brilliant cartoon! Pictures can explain things much better than words. Right,if I'd written it down it would have probably read something like RmEbr Sxlhgn!!
Del, you're so modern.
BiB, you need a proper PA to deal with the horrible paperwork for you. I so know that avoidance of the hideous pile of paper. Hey, I'll be your PA!
Ah so you're no the only one. They really are startling blips of eternal truth.
