The footman is a rather interesting symbol, typical of the subconscious of people prone to sadomasochism. Let's try to figure out why he appeared in your dream.
If you dreamed that you were served by a lackey of the opposite sex, and at the same time you were happy to give him all kinds of orders, this dream quite clearly indicates that you are prone to master-slave relationships, and you yourself expect to be exactly in the role of master or mistress. You like it when what you want is always done. This also applies to your intimate life.
If in a dream the footman does not want to follow your orders, this detail of the dream indicates that it will be difficult for you to count on a harmonious relationship with your partner in the near future.
If you dream that you are a lackey, but this role does not bring any satisfaction, you should be careful, soon a situation will arise where you will have to be different from who you really are. Perhaps you will be mistaken for a representative of sexual minorities.
If you saw yourself as a lackey and in a dream you liked to serve someone of the opposite sex, you have subconsciously formed the image of a relationship between a man and a woman, where you should obey in everything and fulfill the orders or requests of your loved one. It is good if in your dream "Mr" performed his role with pleasure.
But if in a dream he tried to transfer the initiative to you, and you craved power over yourself - in reality you will have a hard time finding someone who would share your inclination towards such a relationship, at least in the near future.
