Answer:

Buck's dream symbolizes the equality between the animal and the man in ancient times.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Buck's mind is taken over once again by the hairy, primitive man of the ancient world. Buck's desires become clearer along with his memories. he recalls that "the salient thing seemed fear."

This was a simpler primal time when dog and man were closer in both in purpose and intellect.
