* Dreams. Caesar placed great importance on dreams, believing that they could contain messages from the gods. On the eve of his assassination, Caesar reportedly dreamed that he was flying above the clouds, which he interpreted as a sign of his impending death.
* Omens. Caesar was also a firm believer in omens, or signs from the natural world that could foretell the future. One of the most famous omens associated with Caesar was the appearance of a comet in the sky in 44 BC. This comet was widely interpreted as a sign of Caesar's imminent downfall, and it is said that even Caesar himself was shaken by its appearance.
* Astrology. Caesar was also interested in astrology, the study of the positions and movements of celestial bodies as a means of understanding and predicting human affairs. He had his court astrologer, Artimidorus, cast his horoscope to determine the best time to launch his various military campaigns.
* Superstitious practices. In addition to these beliefs, Caesar also engaged in a number of superstitious practices in order to protect himself from harm. These practices included wearing amulets, making sacrifices to the gods, and consulting with soothsayers.
