In System Preferences : Keyboard : Dictation panel:
Ensure that your sound is not muted.
In System Preferences : Accessibility : Dictation panel, you may or may not want to select Enable the dictation keyword phrase. I believe, it defaults to computer, and you would have to prepend this before any Dictation command (I do not use this feature, preferring to just state the dictation command). Next, click Dictation Commands… and select Enable advanced commands.
I use fnfn to initiate Dictation. There will be a startup period where it is animated and pulses three globes before the active microphone avatar appears ready to receive commands. Your first command should be show commands, which will pop a scrollable window with various dictation commands that are available to you. When you are done, you can say stop dictation, and Dictation will quit.
