. She is worried about her dream. She dreamed that Caesar's statue flowed with blood. She is worried that something terrible will happen to Caesar if he leaves the house:
Calphurnia is Caesar's wife. she is concerned about the bad omens, which she frankly admits she has never put much credence in before this time. When Calphurnia gets on her knee to Caesar, she temporarily succeeds in persuading him to remain at home. She offers to let Caesar use her anxiety as an excuse for not going to the Capitol.
Caesar disregards Calpurnia's wishes in the beginning. Then she pleads for Caesar to stay home with her. Again, on bended knee, she begs Caesar to use her own anxiety as an excuse not to attend the Capitol meeting.
Calpurnia is grief-stricken. She fears that Caesar will be murdered if he stirs about. She desires for Caesar to stay at home with her.
Caesar finally decides to give in to his wife's anxiety. Caesar hears Calpurnia's pleas. He decides to please her by staying home. He tells Decius that he will honor his wife's wishes by staying home with her.
Then Decius has to use flattery to get Caesar to go to the Capitol. It works. Caesar decides to go to Capitol where he is stabbed thirty-three time by the conspirators.

Caesar wanders through his house in his dressing gown, kept awake by his wife Calpurnia’s nightmares. Three times she has called out in her sleep about Caesar’s murder. He sends a servant to bid the priests to offer a sacrifice and tell him the results. Calpurnia enters and insists that Caesar not leave the house after so many bad signs. Caesar rebuffs her, refusing to give in to fear. But Calpurnia, who has never heeded omens before, speaks of what happened in the city earlier that night: dead men walked, ghosts wandered the city, a lioness gave birth in the street, and lightning shattered the skies. These signs portend true danger, she says; Caesar cannot afford to ignore them.
Caesar counters that nothing can change the plans of the gods. He deems the signs to apply to the world in general and refuses to believe that they bode ill for him personally. Calpurnia says that the heavens proclaim the death of only great men, so the omens must have to do with him. Caesar replies that while cowards imagine their death frequently, thus dying in their minds several times over, brave men, refusing to dwell on death, die only once. He cannot understand why men fear death, which must come eventually to all.
The servant enters, reporting that the augurs recommend that Caesar stay home. They examined the entrails of an animal and were unable to find a heart—a bad sign. But Caesar maintains that he will not stay home out of fear. Danger cannot affect Caesar, he says. Calpurnia begs him to send Antony to the Senate in his place; finally Caesar relents.
