Ask an expert to interpret dreams?

This tree should represent a hope, or an ability. Since the elders let you bury it in your dream, it shows that there is still hope for rebirth of this tree, but it was lit in the middle, so your burial actually changed from planting to burying.

I feel that the tree in your dream should be the representative of some ability or something in your heart or body. Although temporarily suppressed or criticized by someone, there is still hope of re-growth, but recently someone may bring about complications, or it is happening, so that this hope of re-growth is completely buried.

As the saying goes, it takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to educate people; Trees are always compared to a symbol of one's success. Not knowing what has happened around you recently will completely kill your hope or ability to be compared to a tree.

If my above analysis is not too far from the point, I can remind you that it may be too late to save it.
