Dream 270

I was driving to get to a meeting place, and I had to drive through a massive tunnel.  

It must have been at least 16 lanes wide, and I found it very intimidating.  The traffic was very heavy, and the lights were very vivid.  The brightness and the darkness combined made my eyes hurt.

A cop put on his lights behind me, and I pulled over to the side.  More late, I thought.  I waited, and gradually all the traffic left.  And it was just me and the cop.

I waited.  Eventually, I knew that I had to go, so I slowly eased back into traffic, and drove slowly past the cop, waiting for him to escalate.  

But he didn't.  As I passed, I saw his face was frozen with terror.  Like he'd seen the same vast dark-light cave that I saw, but he couldn't comprehend it.

I stopped, led him out of his car and put him in my passenger seat

And I drove out of the tunnel.  The first building, on the left out of the tunnel, was a police station.  

I pulled in, helped the cop in, and told them, "I saved this man's life, you'd better shred that ticket."

I drove out, glancing horribly at the overhead night sky.  I didn't know what else to do but drive.
