I am driving in the dark on the road right along the coast. A strong crosswind is buffeting the car and I consider slowing down but I'm concerned that if I do, the people behind me might catch up to me. The road suddenly drops off a steep bank, almost a cliff. In an open cart now, I plunge down the cliff and land upright in a snow bank which bears off to the right. Cushioned by the snow bank I skid around the corner, heading away from the water now across a snow-covered beach. The way, still covered with snow, runs into a wall and turns to the left along its base. Powerful waves have surged inland behind me and threaten to flood the way ahead of me but I am able to cross below the wall without getting wet. I climb a set of steps to a big doorway but instead of entering I turn and look back. Huge waves are crashing on the beach and water has flooded inland all the way to the wall, submerging the snow-covered road. On the far side of the beach the people behind me have just reached the end of the road and I feel very anxious for them that the waves will overtake them if they continue, but they appear to be stopping. I notice that the water has receded down the beach as if the tide had suddenly gone out. Not until I wake up do I realize that the receding water is a sign of a tsunami.
