Explanation:

Sam was a psychiatrist. He got worried about Charley as he told Sam that he reached the third level. He firmly believed it did not exist. However, he himself was not only convinced but also escaped to Galesburg.
Answer:
The Third Level depicts the tale of Charlie, a 31-year-old man (not Charlie Sheen). He chooses to ride the train from New York City's Grand Central Station one fine evening as he rushes home. He ultimately finds himself on Level 3 of Grand Central Station (there were only two levels). Charlie notices spittoons on the ground there. People were wearing gold watches and derby hats, which they kept in their vest pockets, he notices. A Currier & Ives locomotive is also visible to him.
Charlie tries to get tickets to Galesburg after realising that he has travelled back in time. The following afternoon, around lunchtime, Charlie takes out all of his funds (almost $300 USD) to purchase old-style currency notes. Sam, Charlie's friend and fellow psychiatrist, listens to Charlie describe this experience. Sam comes to the conclusion that Charlie's creation of the Third Level was nothing more than pure fantasy. Charlie had hallucinations about the Third Level because of the suffering that the contemporary world, which was rife with conflict, anxiety, and dread, had to give.
Charlie is successful in locating a piece of proof supporting the Third Level's reality. He finds a letter that Sam, his buddy and therapist, has written to him. 18 July 1894 was the date on the letter. Sam didn't appear to be as sceptical about the Third Level as he actually was.
The idea of time travel is clearly explored in the narrative. Jack Finney investigates the thoughts of the average person. He is successful at showing the weak aspect of the average person. Numerous issues worked together to taint Charlie's psyche. He was further stripped of his senses by it, and in the ensuing terror, he had hallucinations of the Third Level of Grand Central Station. Charlie found it challenging to trust what he was seeing.
What sticks me about the entire narrative is how effortlessly Jack Finney was able to convey the need for peace and security of the average guy. Like any regular person, Charlie enjoyed the 'pleasures' of daily life and the comfort of the known. Due of how much more tranquil, safe, and secure 1894 was, he wanted to stay there. In 1894, no one had experienced the effects of war. Common people like Charlie who want a temporary escape from the harsh facts of life had been overcome by the uncertainties that accompanied war, terror, and disease.
All things considered, The Third Level leads us to the conclusion that humans struggle to accept the terrible things they encounter in life. The reader is further brought to the realisation that the past and future are actual illusions by the story. The only thing that exists for them is the now.
