King Nebuchadnezzar knew he had had an impressive dream but could not recall what was in it.  
Daniel was blessed to have the content revealed to him.  We are blessed to have evidence that
God can reveal in advance, the things we need to know about kingdoms and all things. Will we study to know and accept his knowledge and wisdom?

The king had seen an image like a man.
Daniel 2:32 This image's head [was] of fine gold (Babylon),
his breast and his arms of silver (Persia), his belly and his thighs of brass (Greece)
v33  His legs of iron (Rome), his feet part of iron and part of clay
(part hard cold iron and part contrasting clay from which Adam--mankind--was formed).
Next a stone rolls and crushes all the above.  The stone was created by
God, not by men's hands.  God, not other people, sets up a kingdom which
shall stand forever. See Daniel 2:34,43,44 below.      
Thank you God!!
Today earthly governments are having trouble staying united. The stone rolls on.

Daniel 2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king
hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;
v28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.
Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
v29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed,
what should come to pass hereafter:
and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
v30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
V31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.
v32 This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,  
v33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
v34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
v35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together,
and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.  
v36 This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
v37 Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power,
and strength, and glory.
v38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all.
Thou [art] this head of gold.
v39 And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee,
and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
v40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh
in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that breaketh all these,
shall it break in pieces and bruise.
v41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron,
the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron,
forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
v42 And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
v43 And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
v44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom,
which shall never be  destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people,
[but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
V45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver,
 and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Here is Daniel chapter 1 and 2 complete.  The dream is in chapter 2.
 1:1    In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.  
 1:2    And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.  
 1:3    And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring [certain] of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;  
 1:4    Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as [had] ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.  
 1:5    And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.   1:6    Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:   1:7    Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.  
 1:8    But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.  
 1:9    Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.  
 1:10    And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort? then shall ye make [me] endanger my head to the king.  
 1:11    Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,  
 1:12    Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.  
 1:13    Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.  
 1:14    So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.  
 1:15    And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.  
 1:16    Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.  
 1:17    As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.  
 1:18    Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.  
 1:19    And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.  
 1:20    And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm.  
 1:21    And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king Cyrus.  
 
Chapter 2

 2:1    And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.  
 2:2    Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.  
 2:3    And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.  
 2:4    Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.  
 2:5    The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.  
 2:6    But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.  
 2:7    They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.  
 2:8    The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.  
 2:9    But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.  
 2:10    The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.  
 2:11    And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.  
 2:12    For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
 
 2:13    And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.  
 2:14    Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of Babylon:  
 2:15    He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why [is] the decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.  
 2:16    Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.  
 2:17    Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:  
 2:18    That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.  
 2:19    Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.  
 2:20    Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:  
 2:21    And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:  
 2:22    He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what [is] in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.  
 2:23    I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.  
 2:24    Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.  
 2:25    Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.  
 2:26    The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?  
 2:27    Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;  
 2:28    But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;  
 2:29    As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.  
 2:30    But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any] wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.  
 2:31    Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof [was] terrible.  
 2:32    This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,  
 2:33    His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.  
 2:34    Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.  
 2:35    Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.  
 2:36    This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.  
 2:37    Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.  
 2:38    And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.  
 2:39    And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.  
 2:40    And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.  
 2:41    And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.  
 2:42    And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.  
 2:43    And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.  
 2:44    And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.  
 2:45    Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.  
 2:46    Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.  
 2:47    The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it is], that your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.  
 2:48    Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.  
 2:49    Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.
