Beaker Freaks Out


So I had one of the scariest nightmares I've had in years last night. I had to go play a video game before I could go back to sleep. I usually don't remember my dreams, but this one stuck with me awhile.

I was at a park, and there was a little open air stage area where somebody was singing.
On the benches around the stage there were a few people here and there listening. The singer is good, so I go over and sit on a bench and listen for awhile.
Then I notice the people are moving in kinda jerky motions, and as I look closer I realize that they are not really people but faux people made of plant like stuff and set there like duck decoys. So I try to get up and leave, but I'm stuck. Then I realize the whole auditorium area is a big
pitcher plant type trap
and the people come apart like people part finger puppets on plant tendrils and start reaching for me.
That's the part that really scared me, the people coming apart and reaching for me.
Then I wake up as I'm trying to scramble away on my back and I wake up scrambling backwards in bed.
