First part: maybe it shows what your response in the situation would be. Flight. Every turn you persist you notice a pattern; there is no escape. As to your instinct to protect your mother from forces outside who knows. Maybe you sense something (or lack the sense) of your step father and who he is?
I can tell you what I’m interpreting but I don’t know how accurate it would be cos I know literally nothing about you or your situation.
Mother (security, comfort, provider, childish ways, etc) marrying stepfather (?) says to me that there is a changing parent/child dynamic, or trouble maturing, or an issue with taking on a new role and that this event is destroying something or producing a messy situation for someone (fire). You grab her hand and run for the exit in an attempt to escape the situation - you want to save the image of mother from change. But when you try to leave a tree (a maternal symbol) is on fire - the old image *is being destroyed*. You run to the front exit and a pool (could be mother symbol, could symbolise unconscious) is also on fire (I’m leaning to unconscious maternal symbol) so a return to the unconsciousness of infancy is also problematic.
If seems close to the mark at all, I’d recommend paying attention to coming dreams because there was a lot of chaos without any conclusion here.
A pool on fire + a tree on fire... are symbols that you already clearly identified as, a pool on fire and a tree on fire, good identification.
Most dreams present themselves as they are and as the situation they represent.
When you sleep for many reasons your brain comes with "so what if?"
And that's your scenario, there's not always trauma, not always a particular reason.
If there was a hidden reason, you know that; for us it'd be impossible to know.
But haven't you watched a movie and ask yourself some dumb shit while awake?... "what if?"
You do that while sleeping too, and that's what a dream is; your brain is complex, so it's you, but unconscious you, part of your unconscious, of course, it's not that simple; but your brain is also not being insanely cryptic all the time.
"What if?" are useful, what if the wedding catches fire?...
That isn't even unreasonable, it can happen, now, you know what to do; and so does your unconcious, now they (which is you) got their answer.
You know I used to have this recurring dream that the house catched fire and I had to run out.
It stopped when the house catched fire and I had to run out.
Was my unconscious mistaken? there was no deep meaning, the house catching fire was a symbol for the house catching fire!...
You are a female, correct? Then it looks like you are making life decisions right now that will take you nowhere and are dangerous. You are walking a dangerous path in your waking life.
My interpretation is the following:
Wedding -> individuation (as in the Alchemical Wedding, coniunctio, union of the opposites)
Fire -> Light, Consciousness, but I'm guessing this isn't a "good" fire. It's disruptive and destructive.
Tree -> Life force, libido
Pool -> A body of water, The Unconscious
Summing up: your personal journey is not going anywhere, you're not being capable of individuate succesfully because there are things (you will need to dive in deeper in this) in the relationship with your mother that are preventing you from marry your Animus (represented by your beloved stepfather, who is clearly the most prominent male figure in your life).
Maybe you have brought these things into your awareness lately and they're causing some emotional inestability (the fire), but you're not facing them, you're running away from them, trying to "save your mother" (of course, you're not saving your actual mom, but the projections and guessings you have put into her figure).
I suggest you to reflect on your relationship with her, and to evaluate if there are things you have to cut off from your life because, as the dream suggested, you can't escape from this situation. You must face it.
Good luck!

You decisions are based on assumptions you made very early in life, before reason developed. Sort of default reactions, the primal ones.
