what foul dust floated in the wake of his dream
= all the foul dust that floated in the wake of his dream
what为融合型关系限定词,= (all) the...that, 引导名词性关系分句。
再看下面类似例句:
He gave what money he had with him to the boy.
= He gave all the money that he had with him to the boy.
他把身上所有的钱都给了男孩。
融合型关系限定词what常暗示为数不多的全部。
