i think toriningens represent Madotsuki's insecurities; she may see herself as dumb (the crossed eyes), crazy(they are pink also how they chase her when she stabs them maybe metaphorical for how she cant escape her problems no matter how hard she tries to get rid of them), and ugly (bird features; possibly insecure about her nose or face or something).

toriningens?

It would make sense. Seeing as how when she stabs them, they only go crazy and become stronger and she might get a hopeless feeling that she can't escape.

Makes too much sense

Based on the "party" in the Wilderness, I think that the Toriningen represent her peers. Their bizarre appearance represents her inability to relate to them, her experience of disconnection, and possible associated feelings of hatred. Their aggressive tendencies represent her fear of being judged (the area with the guillotine seems to support this).

Whatever they may represent, it's interesting to note that 3 out of 4 of the worlds that contain a bed also have a Toriningen. This seems to suggest that, at least in part, whatever spurred her into isolation has to do with what the Toriningen represent.

I have also made a similar connection. I believe that Mado could also have a sort of social anxiety because she is unable to relate to them. So from this i draw that The lunatic Toriningen are the peers that try to interact with her. (possibly?)

I always just thought they were a representation of peers in school. They would invoke despair in her, and lash out any time she tried to fight back. They would also appear as caricatures in her dream; big noses symbolize how nosey they are, and the way they never seem to stop shows that Madotsuki feels as though the bullying will never end.
