I'm guessing your throttle body froze up a bit or something, and now your car does not know what position the throttle body is. DaveB just showed you how to reset everything so your car can relearn and it stop tripping out by revving itself. It's a perfectly safe procedure...
If this doesn't work, and I do mean if, then I really don't know what it could be. (I can't speak for DaveB)

Since you have an 05, you do have rev matching - so when you slow down it will rev match as is goes down through each gear. If this is what's happening, it's all good and you don't have a problem at all.
