Last night I had a dream within a dream, which was odd.

In the main dream, I was a student in a college. It was after some sort of play and I was trying to find my way to the parking lot. For some reason it was hard to find in the dream.

However, en route I seem to somehow doze off and end up in another dream. In this dream I ended up in a very strange town. There were two stories and the second story seemed connected almost all the way around in this oval shape. Each building seemed to have little shops. I believe I noticed maybe one person was oddly disfigured. Then I "woke up" back into the other dream, still trying to find my way to my car, and had this strange feeling that I hadn't completed what I was supposed to do in the other dream.

Somehow I dozed back off into the second dream to take another look. That's when I noticed all of the people had body parts placed in the wrong area or slighty off where they shold be. At first I thought, "Ok, I solved that mystery. I know what's wrong with this town now." But I went to take a further look around just in case.

Tucked into a corner on one of the ends of the town there was a very slight opening. A girl who looked perfectly normally, although ragged, called for me and dragged me in. The area was very small - maybe the size of a medium-sized bathroom. The walls also didn't entirely reach the ground, much like you can peek under the stall of a public bathroom. I believe there were two toilets, but I don't remember any sinks. Two girls, including the one who showed me in, were hiding there.
They were hiding out there because they didn't want to be caught by the man who had disfigured everyone. Apparently, the reason every person in town wasn't quite right was because this man was compelled to cut people up and change their structure to be off.

While we were talking we heard him outside, in a seemingly cheery tone because he believed he had found us. I remember moving slightly behind a toilet to try to hide, and wondering how the two girls always managed not to be found. I peeked under the wall and could see he was on the other side peeking under the wall (though he was a distance from us), and he had a razorblade. He was a tall lanky man - the type that was probably skinnier than he should be, and somewhat dressed like a "gentleman", although everyone's clothes in the dream seemed dirty and worn.

When I realized he had most definitely seen me, I knew he was going to squeeze through the small crack to come get us. From somewhere, I have no idea where, I got a baseball bat and just decided I was going to beat the living tar out of him.
I went for him as he was trying to get in to us. And, as I'm sure anyone can imagine, a baseball but could very arguably be a much better weapon than a razorblade. More range and all that. I don't remember having any problem beating him away.

At that point I remember sort of "waking up" and yet still being aware of what was happening in the dream. It appeared I completed my objective that time and had taught the two girls how to fend him off so they could be safe. Somehow they were going to stay in that small bathroom and have children together. You may wonder how they eat, but I wonder how anyone in an oval town that blocks out the rest of the world eats.

I never did find the parking lot.
