Admiring a wildfire

I keep having a reoccurring dream that I'm driving down a familiar highway at night and all the woods and trees are burning with bright orange fire, but the road I'm driving on is clear. I'm calm, not scared and feel the scenery of the wildfire is beautiful.

Driving a car in a dream vision is often a reflection of the dreamer's life. In this case, your calm, clear road suggests that things are currently peaceful, at least in the context of your experience. Your lifestyle is probably comfortable, and you are mostly satisfied with what life has to offer. However, the burning trees on either side of the road may be an allusion to the troubles which plague your community or country. While you may enjoy relative peace and prosperity, you also recognize the suffering others are going through. Seeing beauty in the destruction may indicate deeper feelings of hope that this situation would improve in the future.
