The narrator met a psychiatrist because he was sure he had been on the third level of the Grand Central Station.

He was also aware of the fact that only two levels of the station existed and the presidents of the rail road would even swear on a stack of timetables to prove this point. The need to meet a psychiatrist became urgent because he was in a dilemma.

What idea did Charley have about the tunnel and why didnt he tell the psychiatrist about it in the lesson third level by Jack Finney?

Charley felt there was a tunnel that nobody knew about, which was feeling its way under the city at that moment too, on its way to Times Square, and maybe another to Central Park. Grand Central, he felt, was like an exit, a way of escape and perhaps that's how he got into the tunnel. He didn't want to tell the psychiatrist, for he would not have believed him and would have wanted to treat him.

The Third Level written by Jack Finney is a story that illustrates an intersection of time and space. Elaborate?

In 'The Third Level', Jack Finney treats his favourite subject 'Time' in a new dimension. The Third Level is a point where the past and the present meet. Charley, the protagonist loses his way. He finds himself in what he thinks is the third level of the Grand Central Station in New York. He realizes that something is different and discovers that he has somehow reached the year 1894. It is the period Finney would want to be in. The responses and happiness of the three characters in the story revolve around the third level. Charley is excited and wants two tickets for Galesburg, a peaceful town in the pre-war period. Sam, Charley's psychiatrist friend attributes it to his desire to escape from the stress of life. Later on, Sam drew all his life's savings from the bank and exchanged it for 1894 currency. He was able to cross time and reach a quieter, more peaceful past where his services as a psychiatrist were not required. Louisa did not believe that one could cross over the time dimension till Charley received a letter from Sam. Jack Finney leaves the readers wondering what 'The Third Level' really is. Even though Charley is able to find proof and make the transition back and forth in time, Sam, his friend is already there and enjoying himself. The reader gets transported into the shadowy, eerie world of dreams, desires and reality.
