dark horizontal line across my dock

For a week now, I was watching a video with my macbook pro. I later saw a dark horizontal strip/line across my dock. I put the computer off and later put it on. The line disappear upon restart but after some 20 minutes, the lines came back. Since then, if i put the PC off, the line disappears and after 20 minutes it comes back again.

What should I do?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
