Command
Command often touches the charged ground between giving orders and taking them — honour and humbling both live there. The dream may ask where you're being told what to do and resisting it, where you hold authority over others, and whether you wield it with grace or with a tyranny you'll come to regret.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for command, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being commanded, denotes that you will be humbled in some way by your associates for scorn shown your superiors.
To dream of giving a command, you will have some honor conferred upon you. If this is done in a tyrannical or boastful way disappointments will follow.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you command any one, shows trouble; to dream you see one command, signifies anger and authority.
