My preferred dreamworld trope is that it has nothing at all to do with physical proximity. It's a product of affinity of the spirit. See for example Kipling's story "The Brushwood Boy," where the shared dreams seeming are set off by a single chance meeting between two small children who don't meet again for a couple of decades.
