The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Breaking Point by Mary Roberts Rinehart: the world, were all obliterated, drowned in the flood of memories

He moved and found he was in bed. It had been a dream. He drew a
long breath, looked about the room, saw the woman and greeted her.
