   I wonder is it really you who is acting or if you are experience a from you   
   displaced situation. (someones else's, or past or future). But I guess its   
   you.   
   Clearly the situation starts to get bad at the point where you play around   
   with the police instead stopping.   
   You should wonder how you would handle that situation in real life. It might   
   be a hint on a dangerous real life behaviour where it not necessary has to   
   be exatly the behaviour in that dream situation but a transferred to another   
   not that benefiting behaviour in your real life you maybe should work on.

   This might be another possible reason. You seem to have fear of dying. I   
   don't want to say don't have fear of dying (i self more or less lost the   
   fear of dying) but the fear might be as well be the trigger for this dream.   
   Losing the fear would then eleminate the dream but don't ask me how you   
   could do that.

   I self was an active lucid dreamer where I gained a good dream controll. I   
   know that you can have lucid dream where you are powerless. I mad esuch an   
   experience once when I wondered if it is not possible to have nightmares   
   anymore once when you became an active lucid dreamer.

   Did you try to slow down and stop the time and repeat the scenery? Probabily   
   will not work when you are powerless (it didnt work for me then) but maybe   
   worth a try.
