What does it mean when you boyfriend dies in your dream?

I had the spookiest dream that my on-again-off-again boyfriend was shot in my dream. I was performing on stage and his bestfriend came and told me, I immediately started boo-whooing. I cried for it seems like days in my dream. And it was over 400 at his funeral. My off-again boyfriend [as of right now] and I haven't spoken much this last month and I really do miss him but why did I NOW have this dream? Help me Please?
