The Wormwood Code (2013)
“He had three seconds of complete confusion, that glorious moment of total mental bedlam when you wake up in a strange bed and don't have the faintest idea where you are; that exotic mixture of fear and concern and delirious freedom, until you realise you're in the bed that you went to sleep in and everything becomes clear and obvious and your heart sinks back to normal level.

The knocking started up again, the ...sound which five seconds earlier had seemed to be part of a bizarre dream where everybody he knew was either dead or turning into snakes.
