Tiny Cowled Figures (night of 19/07/2019)

A canal. It is night. It appears to be the setting of a fantasy novel - or a film. Despite the fictional nature of this knowledge - the scene appears as if it is real. Despite the knowledge that this is 'fantasy' - the setting appears to be contemporary. The canal veers off into the distance. two figures - men - are waiting for something - for someone. Insectoid / humanoid figures approach alarmingly fast from the distance.
Walking through Swakeleys park. The psychogeographer John Rogers - walking on the side of the park near the tennis courts. Night-time as well? Possibly earlier. Small cowled figures haunt the park. They look like Jawas from Star Wars - but inside their hoods is a grinning skull.
John Rogers begins to run. He realises how dangerous these cowled figures might be. Swakeleys Park is edgy and haunted. He runs for the train station.
Reality seems to shift. Everything looks like a cartoon now. He leaps over a wall and into the train station - but what train station is this? Not the one he was expecting - it has a name like 'The Station On The Hill'. I should have written this dream down when I woke up.
