Mafia Lawyer

I had a dream I was a male lawyer. Well kinda. I was me, and was going to replace this lawyer who was like an action hero. but how i become the successor is a part of the dream. and as they show the man's capture/death, i am this person. no i realize that this is a dream, but i am trapped in the dream kinda. well, let me just relate the dream:

the entry point of the dream is i'm in a my glass office, and some environmental crime is going down, and i am ranting some high profile lawyer talk at an intern, when suddenly a man in a maroon suit bursts into the office, claiming i ruined his case, as he is off to jail, but police officers are in close proximity and are now pulling him into custody. however, this is not good enough, he needs to be dead. so i pulled this gun from a display case for just such a moment, and shot a hole right through his back. one so big that you could see the light on the other side coming through, and as he fell to the ground, you could not distinguish his blood from his jacket. as i was shooting i was emerging from my office and running down the stairwell. although the police we right there for the purpose of the now dead man, there where many of them, and they began to pursue me. the me that new i was dreaming was like that was dumb, now they'll case you. you shouldn't have shot him in front of them. but the lawyer me, was like no, this was necessary. plus they will take the other stairwells. sure enough, most do but because of the time that elapsed for the argument i had with me, one cop was on our tail. but no sooner did my lawyer self utter that they should take the other stair well, was the cop beckoned by radio, and went off to leave us to our escape. unfortunately my left leg was becoming paralyzed and i could not rely on it for standing and because to hang onto the railing and swing myself around the curving stairs to descend further and faster. at one level, there was a room and i thought i saw a slide, but it was just part of a machine and went nowhere. the rest of the room was empty. i returned to the stairwell, and found that the stairs seemed to end in midair requiring a jump to the ground level. usually this would be of no concern to this hero but with the paralysis getting worse this was trickier. i knelt down on the last stem to get a closer look. it was a chemistry lab below. and it seemed these stairs were here to reach the top of a machine from above. on a ledge slides of specimens where in a box. i marveled the detail of this dream. wow, i thought, i cant believe i bothered to dream something like that. but then i started going blind too, and was worried, because i could no longer move properly. i was going blind and more and more paralyzed and feared i would fall into the chemist's machine, so i forced myself to wake up. which was hard to do, despite the fact i knew i was dreaming.
