To sleep, perchance to dream

Last night after my treed bear post, I shut down my laptop and went to bed. Just as I was reaching that moment when consciousness slips away yielding to sleep, I had a brilliant idea for a post. For a brief moment, I considered getting up, putting on my glasses, walking to the table, booting up the computer, and typing my brilliance.

But I succumbed to the temptation to remain in bed and surrender myself to sleep.

When I awoke this morning, the brilliant idea was gone. Evaporated into the dawn with my dreams.

Now, I am getting ready for bed, but I am afraid to shut down the computer for fear that the brilliance will return.

It must be here somewhere. Will it ever return?
