What are possible meanings for dreams of stages?
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.

Recurring childhood dream came true over a decade later. Dad got cancer.
When I was 5/6 (?) I had a reoccurring dream for maybe a week that my father would pee blood, then I would sit on this black stone floor in front of a fireplace, and my dad would walk out of the bathroom and look at me with a face like he was trying to warn me.
When I’m 16, dad’s diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer (47 years old, super young for prostate cancer). He pees blood. We move to a new house with the same black fireplace from my dream, where I would sit nearly every night.
He died at 53, and I can’t stop thinking that he somehow his spirit went back in time was trying to warn me in this dream. Because what 5 year old had the capacity to repeatedly dream of their dad urinating blood?
Thoughts?

HELP ME UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS A DEMONIC DREAM PLEASE
I dreamt of being in a church but then it sort of became a play. I was an audience and it was about this girl that was sort of living a double life? All of sudden, the stage shifted and I was waiting in line with my boyfriend to buy a bag. Idk why I was so eager to buy that backpack.
Then suddenly my bf and I started you know, getting touchy feely. He kisses my neck and all that. But he was whispering something to me.
At first, I thought it was a song. But then I asked, “what?” but I was sort of still in a trance with the kiss on the neck. Until I realized it wasn’t a song it was sort of like a command?
It had like three commands? I don’t entirely remember anymore but it was sort of like find a boy, tease him, and then he told me, this was the one I remember most “SURRENDER THE LAMB” and then I knew it wasn’t my bf because he never speaks weird stuff like that and I could not see him anymore so I shouted out of nowhere, “NEVER”.
Then it happened. I could not wake up. The bed started shaking and someone was tugging on my left side of the shirt so bad I could faintly hear scream and anger.
UNTIL I FINALLY WOKE UP.
I dont know what it meant but I was so scared. What does this mean????

I dreamed I died and became a ghost. It’s supposed to be impossible to die in a dream
I’ll tell the whole dream here. If anyone is interested in interpreting it, I‘ll really appreciate that!!
It was the end of the world. The weather was going to kill us all, scientist had been tracking it for years. The end of the world was at 2 pm. I was in a street full of shops. The weather was going crazy, and so were the people. There were people driving around shooting people. People who always wanted to kill but could never get away with it. One drove by me and I asked him to shoot me because I didn’t want to die by the weather. He did, and instead of waling up I just became a ghost.
So I found a close friend of mine and followed her. The police were directing everyone to a stage, so that’s where she ended up. On the stage was an ex-toxic friend of mine. For some reason this friend could see me, she tried to hug me but I just walked through her and ignored her.
2 pm came and nothing happened. Nothing happened for a really long time. Then at 3 pm the weather instantly cleared up and it was the most beautiful sunny day you had ever seen. Everyone just went home. I was really pissed, because I was now a ghost for no reason.

Anyone ever dream of a song?
So I had a dream that there was this song that was super popular and it sounded good when I heard it. I was able to make out the lyrics and chord progression, dream ended with a dancer walking off stage refusing to dance anymore.
When I woke up I still had the song stuck in my head, so now I’m trying to recreate the song on my guitar and keyboard. Is there any deeper meaning to all this or is it just a random dream?

Someone tell me the meaning of this nightmare
So thats how the dream goes, I was celebrating New years eve with my friends we were on this cliff and all of sudden after we started the countdown. The cliff starts to break so we start running and I immediately look for my best friend, I hold her hand and we run together trying not to fall. Then all of a sudden there's a Metallica concert on stage and we are on the stage, James Hetfield is shouting at us "Tell me how does it feel to be alive, If you want to live forever. First you must die." The crowd starts chanting "DIE DIE DIE DIE" and ground beneath us starts to open like there's a pit below us. I fall but she manages to hold on. I find myself inside this very dark room, everything surrounding me is sand, and faceless people. One of them is holding a guitar. Now I just realize that I am dead. But the people surrounding me start singing Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold(a song about being on tour and missing a girl that he knows from back home.) Then I realize that I have to go and find my friend, so I try to escape. But the faceless people surrounding me try to prevent me from escaping, I keep on fighting them and try to , escape. All of a sudden I find myself back in the concert, and I am trying to look for my friend, but there are way so many people to get through and whenever I see her, I find that that's not really her. I just keep on searching for her while everyone around me in the concert goes "She is busy"
