Experience description:

I'll describe two separate experiences during the same one year time period.

Both, while wide awake and not on medications.  This questionnaire refers to experience #1.

Early morning I was waiting at Sky Harbor Airport for my son's arriving flight.  I had coffee and my glasses on sitting front row of where the planes land and looking out the window at the loading and unloading of luggage.  The entire front row of seats was empty except a man way at the end reading a paper.  Suddenly, my spirit (soul/consciousness) was elsewhere.  I was only aware at the time of my consciousness traveling so fast through a very dark space (tunnel? couldn't tell, all dark tiny, tiny pinhole of light at the end) and I saw groups of people (My consciousness was speeding through the darkness) they seemed very small and were looking up at me going by.  I heard their voices and they (both sides were groups of people) were sooooo happy!  It's so good to see you, how are you, we're glad you're back, etc.  The happiness at seeing me was shocking.  I had no idea so many people knew me or even cared that much.  I did not recognize them as they were small and I could not answer them because as I was trying to reply I was so far away from them I knew they wouldn't hear me.  This went on for awhile.  All the people ecstatic and happy and their voices and happiness to see me.  Then, all of the sudden everything seemed to stop. I quit traveling at the speed of light (or so it felt) and a heard and understood (did not recognize) very clearly the voice of man.  He said to me in a booming and deep voice very slowly and empathetically "Dianne, thank you.  You have no idea how much you have helped me.  You didn't have to do it and you did.  You knew that it would be painful for you when you did do and you did it help me.  I will always remember that.  Thank you".  Then, I opened my eyes up and I was scared to death!  I didn't know what had happened.  Did I fall off the seat?  Did I have a heart attach?  I slowly turned to look at the man in the row of seats who was reading his newspaper and everything was fine and normal. 

#2 - I was driving my car with my Mom in it.  (No unusual circumstances around this situation either)  I decided to make a U-Turn.  As I flipped the car around on the Right side there was truck barreling out into the street and my Mom and I knew he was going to crash into the side of my car.  At the moment, everything stopped for a split second (my Mom & both felt it/it stopped/ suspended animation) and in the flash of an eye we were already in the lane on that street and there wasn't any truck around to be found.  I have no idea what happened there.  The odd thing is: We both saw the truck barreling at us.  We both felt time stop.  We both saw the car was in the lane instead of making the turn of the U-Turn.  We both saw there was no truck in sight.
