I agree with this, dont let ideas bounce around in your head, sometimes its worth taking a risk, I have noticed that most people simply arent really that interested in taking your ideas. I have some very good contacts with the Patent libraries and all are very honest and trusting. My advice would be dont keep your idea to yourself, give it a go !
If you do read Dyson's book you will find he did it all wrong ! There are many other ways to obtain IP, not just patents, one of which is free. Dyson could of gone down this route rather than the expense of remortgaging his house etc.
