I just had a long and very satisfying nap, and this is the dream that came to me:
I am in a car, driving along a highway. I do not know what possesses me, but I begin to drive very erratically and carelessly. I laugh at the excitement of dodging and passing cars, speeding beyond any safe limits. Finally, ahead I see the exit I want to take and wait until the last minute to cross to the right across three very busy lanes. It feels almost anticlimactic to get back to slower speeds forced upon me by the prevailing traffic.
Eventually I reach my designation and without any surprise find the police waiting for me. I laugh as the female officer hands me a bunch of tickets, and tell her that I expected this. However, as I look through them, I begin to feel not only concerned and panic, especially when I come to the last page and see a fine of over $10,000! I manage to stammer, "can I pay this in installments?", to which the officer replies that it will depend on higher authorities to decide. Her attitude, and that of her two male companions, is one of careless disregard.
My knees weaken and I fall to the ground, knowing that I will spend the rest of my life paying for this joy ride, and yet fully knowing I deserve every cent of this penalty.
