Being on stage in a dream can symbolize feelings and perceptions related to public scrutiny or performance. People on stage are the center of attention, where they’re seen in public and are under the public eye—a good symbol for when you want to be noticed, to make a spectacle, or to openly declare support for something. Being on stage speaking to an audience can mean you have something to say. It can mean you consider what you’ve learned from life or about a specific subject to be valuable and you’re looking for a venue to express it. On stage in front of an audience, in simplest terms, means you’re being watched, and that association can branch out to include a Truman Show delusion or the feeling that people are keeping an eye on you. For example, a man dreams that he’s on stage as an actor in a play when he gets a text from a co-worker that says he should come to work now if he wants to catch the boss in the office. He remembers that it’s his only time to do it, and he has something important he wants to say, but he can’t get away while on stage. Especially not while all eyes are on him, and some of his co-workers are in the audience. The dream reflects his thoughts related to a situation at work where he wants to do an end-run around his work group and appeal to the boss directly to have his way—but they can’t find out. His strategy is to try to catch the boss after hours, but lately too many prying eyes have been around. To dream about being in front of an audience can indicate that you seek public recognition. It can connect with embarrassment in public. To dream there should be an audience but no one is there can symbolize feeling that no one is listening to you or recognizing your talents, abilities, or accomplishments. To dream about being in an audience can symbolize being part of the crowd. Or it might express the idea of “outside looking in.” You are a spectator instead of a participant. An audience can be associated with the general idea of “in public.” Perhaps you don’t want your feelings to be known in public, or there is something you don’t want to be public knowledge. The possibilities for symbolism expand when you consider what happens on stage. For example, many stage performances center around stories of romance and tragedy, and your life can resemble these stories. Stages are where fantasies and dramas play out. It’s an ideal set piece for acting out the major events, fantasies, and dramas of your life. Dreaming about being on stage and forgetting your lines can symbolize the feeling of forgetting something important, especially something important you wanted to say. It can mean you’re having difficulty playing a role in your life, or you missed an opportunity to say what you want to say. Something “staged” is made to appear a certain way. Behavior and circumstances can strike you as staged when they are deliberate or manipulative, or are meant for appearances. To stage-manage means to carefully arrange and control to create a desired effect. See: Imposters A dream about an audition can indicate preparation for a big event or challenge. An audition can be a way of saying “test the water.” You’re not sure whether you’re ready to commit to something and want feel your way through it before deciding. Or you’re not sure you’re good enough for something and want to find out. See also: Actors, Stadiums and arenas, Directors, Imposters, Makeup, Movies, Spotlights
