As I was soaring through the pitch black tunnel I heard familiar voices all around me.  They were so happy to see me and welcoming me.  I had no idea so many people knew and loved and missed me!  They were so happy sounding.  I couldn't see them although I knew they were there.  I tried to answer them although it took quite awhile for me to hear what they said as I was going so fast through the tunnel it took time for their message to get to me.  I could not respond to them for that reason.  Also, I noticed they telepathically told me their greetings and I transcribed it telepathically by their tone and into my way of understanding. 

Then, as I was speeding through this endless tunnel I heard a....a Male Voice with such great respect and thankfulness in his voice and this is what he said....."Dianne, I want to thank you for the decision you made.  You helped me so much you have no idea.  I know that you knew....that by making this decision you would be badly hurt.  And you were.  I appreciate that because you helped me and you knew it would help me.  I want you to know just how much this means to me"....then...suddenly.,.......there I was......back in the chair at the airport....and I thought maybe I'd freaked out or passed out....but, oh no, I was fine.  No one was looking strangely at me....only a minute or less had passed and the man was still nonchalantly reading his newspaper.  I was fine.

What happened here?  I have no idea.  Just I heard SUCH GRATITUDE IN the man's voice....whom I have no idea who that was.  And....I heard.....such happiness and excitement and welcoming me from all the people who knew me that all of their voices sounded familiar.

I still don't understand this!
