Certain parts of this song (“Dreamer”) would logically imply that the addressee is a romantic interest, but this is also one of those pieces where such is not forthrightly stated. As described by Dermot Kennedy, what “Dreamer” is meant to speak to is the concept of true love being based on “the little things”, as he put it, as opposed to “grand” displays of affection.

So that sentiment would presumably be why the song concludes along the lines of the vocalist relaying his undying commitment to the addressee more so than anything else.
And with all of that in mind, somewhat oddly the title itself never appears in the lyrics. But one way of theoretically explaining it is as pointing to the vocalist’s ‘dream’ or vision of the ideal relationship between him and the addressee. As envisioned it is one whereby said individual comes to appreciate Dermot for his willingness to be by her side. In other words, the singer is not out to secure this person’s love through material means but rather by advertising himself as someone who is truly committed to their relationship.
