Backyardigans

We were in a village of some sort. It was a dry and dead village with a small population. Kids and teens would spend their time outside for entertainment. There was another world to this village and it was a taboo subject. People would whisper when talking about it. There is a huge mansion in this village, it could fit the whole population. It was hidden and very hard to find and no one would want to find it anyways. It was filled with kids, teens and young adults, who had to dress up as monsters, zombies, clowns or other scary characters for events and movies. They got to live in the mansion, got to eat for free, and experience the luxury of living in a mansion. The con was that they weren't allowed to leave to go outside and see their family and friends. They were slaves in that way. This would make them go mad and crazy. These slaves were called the backyardigans by normal people in the village, since the mansion was assumed to be in the "backyard" of the village. There were people from the mansion who were trusted. They were allowed to go out, only to recruit others. I witnessed this recruitment as either a little girl or an omnescent body. An example of one is there was a girl on a bicycle, and a guy would make her fall in love with him and she would follow him to the mansion and become a backyardigan. This happened multiple times in my dream. There would even be females recruiting females and females recruiting males. The gender didn't really matter, the concept was just that one person made the other fall in love with them and that's how they get sucked into slavery. I was a new slave of this mansion, along with my friend, naome. We would experience a lot of paranoia since there were people in the mansion who would go mad and kill others. They couldn't be stopped and it was all up to the normal slaves of the mansion to avoid the mad slaves. My friend and I would often travel everywhere together, like many people in the mansion due to this paranoia. We both had to use the washroom, so we went in together. We start arguing for several minutes of who gets to use the toilet first. She really had to pee and I thought I really had to shit. I ended up just needing to fart so I told her she can use it first. Before she goes to use it, she checks the peep hole. She blankly stares at me with fear. "...naya.. look in the peep whole." I looked through it and their was a guy on the other side, waiting against the hallway wall staring through the peep whole, as if he knew we were looking. Both of us become very paranoid at this point. My friend neglects her bladders needs and comes up with a plan to open the door and run. I disagree with her. I wanted to wait in the washroom until he leaves. He knocks on the door. "I really need to pee," he yells. We decide to open and walk out instead of run, as running would single us out and attract other madmen. When we walk out, we are not killed. It turned out he was just a normal person who had to pee.
