Picking up sticks in a dream involves the brain grasping at the tools used to establish order or to gauge the strength of a foundation. This gathering happens because the structures that provide direction have fallen apart and need to be retrieved. The mind is sorting through the fragments of a structure to see if they can still be used to support a particular direction or decision.
The process of gathering these items serves to evaluate the reliability of what is currently held to be true or useful. When the dreamer reaches for these objects, the subconscious is testing the availability of support to see if a standard can still be maintained. Things feel ungrounded when these pieces are not already connected or upright. The availability of these fragments provides a way to reassess the tools of influence and direction.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
