Lodge, Oliver (1851-1940). Typed document signed. N.p., n.d. 1 sheet. 261 x 205 mm. Light creasing, a few marginal tears, but very good. By British physicist Oliver Lodge, best known for his pioneering work in radio-he was one of the first in Britain to demonstrate the transmission of radio signals, and he patented both the tuner and the moving-coil loudspeaker. He is also remembered for his studies of psychic phenomena and his involvement in spiritualism, which intensified after the death of one of his sons in World War I. Lodge's document describes two recurring dreams-more properly nightmares-that had long troubled him: "My usual nightmare relates to travelling: especially the losing of trains. A particular dream-statin has a number of platforms and staircases and passages along which the patient is hurrying and wrongly directed, ultimately to arrive again on the first platform and to see the train just going out. . . . There is a dream station which I might recognize if it exists, but it is so unwieldy and confusing that the malice of man can hardly have erected it. "Another recurrent dream used to trouble me at the beginning of Term, namely that I had forgotten a lecture. Sometimes I found myself apparently listening to a distant noise which it gradually dawned on me was made by the students stamping in impatience . . . This may have happened in real life, but it certainly happened in dreams: and waking was a relief. . . ." .
