Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.

Freud would read a niece through the dreamer's affectionate and protective feelings toward a younger relative, sometimes carrying displaced feeling about a daughter or one's own youth. He would ask what gentle wish she stands in for.

Jung might see a niece as the child archetype at one remove, an image of new growth or of a tender younger side of yourself. The figure can carry the promise and vulnerability of what is still forming.

Continuity ties a niece to your real relationship with her, or to the warmth and hope you attach to a younger relative. She often appears when family care or the next generation is on your mind.
