Dreaming of Giving Commands

Giving or receiving orders in a dream is about honour, humiliation and power.
What happens in the dream
- You are given orders: you will be humbled by those around you for scorning your superiors
- You give an order: an honour will come to you; if you do it tyrannically or boastfully, disappointment will follow
- You see someone else in command: anger and assertions of authority
- You command someone: trouble
How you felt
- Your relationship to power: the dream may reflect a wish to take back control
- Frustration: you may feel bossed around
Ask yourself
- Where do I need to assert myself?
- Do I use my authority fairly?
