Dreams circus

My dream looped so the same scene played over and over. I had went down a friend’s house, they’d invite me in, and then we’d end up going outside through the back door where they had some sort of outside circus, but no circus tent. As I walked around I came across a smaller tent but it was full of my friends, around 5 people, who were surgeons. They were cleaning medical tools as if they were preparing for surgery. I left shortly after that and came across some giraffes. 2 adults and a baby giraffe. They were standing side by side with the baby in the middle, but I went up and pet the baby giraffe and it seemed to love the attention. After that my dream would replay from the beginning where I arrive at my friend’s house.

I've had the dream twice in a row. I'm looking out the apartment window from a dark bathroom and it is the middle of the night. Below me is a fenced off balcony, a stretch of free air, and a high concrete platform. I see the shadows of circus animals in the distance, and then a clown walks forward. He is wearing a creepy mask, and I feel like he looks right at me. At his side there is a zebra, and he's leading it to the edge of the concrete platform. The zebra reaches the raised portion at the end of the platform, steps up, and is ordered to start walking. I watch it slip and fall down into the open air. When I look up in shock after witnessing a zebra's death, the clown is wearing a normal mask. And he is staring right at me. Afterwards I run into the hallway, yelling for someone to call 911.

This seemed to be loosely based off of Caroline and a circus, it also felt like I had been here before either in a dream before or it was just a random memory from this dream. Basically I was running literally for my life through this puzzle. Certain rooms include crossing a bridge with a huge drop underneath, a long maze hallway with light twitching, tree house like rope course which things would fall apart as you went. While going through these rooms a woman was chasing me. I finally found the final room and I ran inside. I remember the room being filled with lots of colors, the walls went from blues, purples, pinks, yellows, and more with designs like spirals, dots, zig zags. On the ground were a bunch of pillows matching parts of the wall and there were a couple of mirrors around me. I actually knew what would happen next, again as if I’ve done this before. Then the girl appeared in the room holding a butcher knife. I remember a conversation we had but not exactly what we said. It was about the fact that this was the final room for me to do and the girl would give me a puzzle, since I've done this before I think I had either known I couldn’t beat the puzzle or I was too tired/ lazy to do it. So instead I decided to annoy the girl so maybe she’d just let me go. She ended up getting really really mad at me and took the knife and sliced it in between my left shoulder and neck. I didn’t wake up immediately though. The person pushed the knife into me further. It didn’t hurt, I even remember these exact words in my mind “Why doesn’t it hurt?” Yet I was still wincing in pain. After the knife was pushed down to my stomach I finally woke up.

I was given a circus or I had a show in the circus.

The circus was in town, and although her parents couldn’t take her, they gave her older brother, Max, money for admission and snacks, and she and Max went. They found their seats, four rows up, and Max pointed at the clowns and the elephants. She loved the animals, the colorful costumes, the loud music, and the laughs and cheers of the crowd. Max excused himself to go to the concessions stand, but he didn’t return. The show ended, and he was nowhere to be found. After calling for him and searching for what seemed like an eternity, she started to cry in despair. She felt the kind hand of a teenage girl on her shoulder, and the teenager directed her to a group of teen girls who were chatting and giggling with Max.
