What does Daniel 2:5 mean?

But the king replied, 'No, here's the deal: If you don't tell me what I dreamed and what it means, I'll have you all torn apart and your houses destroyed.' Daniel 2:5 - Modern Text Bible

(Nebuchadnezzar raises the stakes. He doesn't just want an interpretation—he wants them to tell him the dream itself, or else face brutal consequences.)
