(in terms of introspection): to look through one's soul as if it were a tunnel and see nothing but darkness and despair.
depression and drug addiction are hard to treat in part because the depressed and the addicted often have tunnel vision when it comes to introspection and think that there is no way out, so much so that they are even afraid to go and ask for appropriate help.

a way of seeing, especially in males, when checking out a hot or in rare case large butted individual. To engage tunnel vision is to ignore all other movements, actions, and people in your periphery while only focusing on that sexy individual.

1. What Mr. Happy has (i.e., his "vision" is always focusing on just one thing --- specifically, a gal's "love-tunnel").
2. What the vengeful and intently-gazing-straight-ahead Biff Tannen was experiencing while trying to run down Marty McFly in the underground causeway, and therefore he never noticed Old Man Jones' fertilizer-truck in time to avoid colliding with it --- yet again --- and consequently having himself and his car covered with the truck's messy contents ("MANURE!! I hate MANURE!") a second time, mere hours after having gotten said beloved jalopy back from Terry's garage which had cleaned it out from its previous encounter with said poop-hauler.

I always slow down a bit and drive extra-carefully through mountain-tubes and other underground traffic-passes, since it's notoriously easy to unwittingly get "tunnel vision" when traversing said claustrophobic motoring-routes.
