Stage

To dream that you are on a stage, represents your behavior, manipulation of and relationships with others. It is telling of your interactions with society.

It may also mean that you crave more attention and drama in your life. Good times are coming, but you will have to work hard to get there.

Many people know the Shakespeare quote, "All the world's a stage"; thus, dreaming of a stage may refer to your desire to be the center of attention. Consider how your stage performance parallels a waking situation.

To dream that you are on a side stage, reflects your introverted personality. This dream may indicate your need to be more confident and self-assured.
