I read a similar case
...a man woke up in the night, sure that The Answer had been revealed to him in a dream. This time it was right, this time it would work, and no-one would have to get nailed to anything. He wrote it down, and went back to sleep, confident that the secret was safely recorded.

In the morning he read the note. It said: "All a matter of hemi-semi-quavers. Make much of this."

Maybe this was more suited to last week but oh well
The first time I took shrooms, I remember being sure that everything made sense and I knew the secret behind the universe. I woke up the next morning, only to recall that my epiphany pretty much boiled down to "the whole universe is totally fucked, so you may as well have a laugh".



I'm still half convinced I was onto something.

that in turn reminds me
of something Ed Byrne said on some broadcast

on the subject of thinking of stand-up material while asleep, a friend of his sometimes woke up laughing quite hard but forgetting what was so funny in the morning. Taking the initiative to write the next one down, he woke up the next morning with great excitement to read... 'i am a hammer'.
