(This is what Calpurnia might have been thinking when she had the dream about Caesar)
In the night: "Help! Help! Someone please help! the streets are filled with evil spirits and signs of my husbands death! His statue runs of his blood and the people of Rome have come to dip their hands in it and praise all through the streets that Caesar is dead! Oh help, someone please help!"
The next morning: "Oh Caesar my lord! I beg of you! Last night I had a horrifying dream. I dreamed of the people of Rome running through the street with your blood on their hands! They were celebrating your death and causing chaos as they went. And you know I don't believe in bad omens but today is not the day to go out. My dear husband please for my sake stay in today, what will it hurt? One day in the house wont hurt but if you go out something bad is bound to happen."
Caesar: "My dear wife, what is the meaning of all this? What makes you think that such things will happen? Everyone has bad dreams once in a while, I'm sure this is nothing different. And it was just a little rain, the gods should not punish me, of all people, for the weather."
Calpurnia: "Please, I know it may have just been a bad dream, but for my sake and my nerves, please stay in today. Do not go out and have the fate to know what might awaits you. You could tell them you were sick or that I asked you to stay or anything, just please stay."
Caesar: "Fine my wife you have convinced me to stay. I will not tell them I am sick because that is a lie but for you're sake I will stay."
