Near dream meaning is explained below using 3 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- When we are conscious of being near someone or something in a dream we are on the point of recognising them in waking life. We may be becoming emotionally closer or more able to handle whatever is happening.
2- When an object or image in a dream is near us - that is, when we are passive within the dream situation we are often alerted to the fact that something will happen quickly. Spatial awareness can give us a concept of time.
3- Conscious Awareness of those aspects of life which are spiritual often manifest as a nearness.

Interpretation 2 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver
If something is very close in a dream, this can indicate that the matter being dealt with in the dream is close to consciousness.
The dream also might be drawing on a familiar idiom, such as “nearest and dearest” or a “near miss.”

Interpretation 3 — Tony Crisp
The nearer something is to you in a dream, the closer it is to becoming conscious in a direct way rather than as a symbol.
