Default Weird Transmission Behavior??

Was cruising on the highway today in lockup at about 90kmph. All of a sudden for no apparent reason the revs increased because the converter unlocked for no apparent reason. Refused to lock up again. I also noticed that the light on the dash that tells your what gear you are in, suddenly wasn't lit up, just blanc. Whenever i tried to manually shift into third or second gear from drive, it did nothing and the screen stayed blanc. I initially thought it might have been in third gear in "limp home mode", but i flattened it and it shifted from 4th to 3rd, and then into 2nd so there wasn't a problem there.

I pulled over but kept the car running and put it into neutral. Suddenly the screen on the dash appeared but said it was in Drive for 3-4 seconds until it woke up to itself and realised it was in neutral. It didn't play up again for the rest of the 30 minute drove home.

Any ideas??
