I think I had two dreams that intermingled. I was working in a factory making rugs. I made one I particularly like and put it to one side to take home. I worked with my friend (unknown in realty), she was a single mum and really struggling with keeping food on the table. The machine clogged up and everyone was sent home. While walking home with my friend I realised I had forgotten my rug and wanted to go back for it. She didn't want to but I insisted I must get the rug. Upon re-entering the building the structure began to change around us and we were in a Victorian theatre surrounded by wealthy victorians waiting for a show. We seemed to be invisible to them. I knew I recognised it and thought I had been there before. I told my friend as long as we don't disrupt anything they won't notice us and started to slip through the crowds to the door.
My friend wanted to leave the theatre and go home, I told her we couldn't as I wanted my rug and I wasn't going to let these people stop me. I was convinced my rug was behind the stage and I needed to make my way there. My friend grew more and more visibly distressed as time went on begging for us to just leave. Her eyes became a bit sunken, she got very thin and her hair falling out from stress.
People did start to notice us the more she begged to go. We ended up running through the stage corridors until we reached a door that lead to the garden square and stage door. There was a long queue to re-enter through so we joined. By this point the others in the dream were aware of us and just spoke horribly to us especially my friend. Saying 'why did you let her come' etc.
We got in and the show was going to be circus freaks. I knew the outcome and that the fattest man in the world would freak out and try to kill everyone. I had deja vu that I had known the outcome on the last dream too and completed the same actions. I told him I knew what he was and what he was about to do and i would prevent it. He attempted to hurt my friend. My kids appeared and he lunged for my toddler and caught her in the face. so I got in a physical fight with him and ended up crushing his skull.
I took my family to a balcony where everyone in the theatre could see me. I saw loudly so all could hear that I was tired of this dream. I said that everyone could f off and I was done. I said if a single person comes near me I'd kill them as well. They are just stared at me back. I walked away without any issues and woke up.
Posting because even when lucid dreaming I've never got so fed up at a repeat of a dream that I have vetoed out in the way I did.
