It's the command to go forth and spread the mental virus to as many people as possible, so that thousands of years later, people would still be infected by it.

Go forth and preach the gospel. To make Him known.
There's a wonderful parable in Luke 14:16.
A certain man made a great feast. (God)
He sent his servant to those invited.
They all made excuses why they couldn't come.
So the master gets ticked off and tells the servants to go out and invite all the poor, cripled, lame and blind.
Go out to the highways and bushes - compell them to come in that His house may be filled.
His house, of course, is the kingdom of God.
That's our commision. To bring all who will come in to enjoy the great feast He has prepared.

After His resurrection, Jesus told the 11 disciples to go out into the world and preach the gospel.

The great commission is -- to tell people about the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.

The Great Commission is, "16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Matthew 28)

This idea of Christianity is most disturbing to me. If Dominion Theory was followed by Mainstream Christianity, it would be impossible for Christians to live in any societies other than their own.
