what were brian friend terry and his father tried to tell him in his dream

Brian tries to get a few more hours of sleep, and has a dream about first his father and then his friend Terry. In the dream, his father is trying to tell him something, but no sound is coming out of his mouth. Then the dream changes to Terry, who is sitting beside a barbecue pit making a fire with charcoal, lighter fluid, and a match. This frustrates Brian; he knows he needs a fire, but cannot figure out how he would make one.

When morning comes at last he gets up to eat some raspberries and retrieve the hatchet from where he threw it. Suddenly he remembers the sparks that flew when it hit the stone, and he realizes what his dream had been trying to tell him. The hatchet would give him fire.

brian needs to make a fireand does not know how to.
