In this scene, Caesar is meant to go to the Senate House. However, his wife, Calpurnia wants him to not go. This is because she had a dream  about Caesar being a fountain. In her dream, there are people drinking his blood as it is pouring from various holes in his body. She sees this as a bad omen and begs him to not go.

However, because of Caesar’s hubris, he says, ‘Caesar shall forth. The things that threaten’d me ne’er looked but on my back; when they shall see the face of Caesar they are vanished.’ This quotation shows Caesar saying he will go to the Senate House because nothing can harm him. He says that things that try to do harm to him have never seen his face and only conspired behind his back. When they see him, they will run. Decius Brutus, one of the conspirators, arrives to get Caesar to go to the Senate House. He persuades Caesar that if he doesn’t go then people will think of him as a coward and someone that will listen to his wife’s superstitions. He interprets Calpurnia’s dream as being a blessing towards Caesar. He says, ‘Your statue spouting blood in many pipes, In which so many smiling Romans bath’d, Singnifies that from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood,’. This shows that Decius has twisted and manipulated Calpurnia’s dream. He shows Caesar that the dream was misinterpreted. Finally, Caesar goes to the Senate House.
