ex boyfriend, cancer.

Hey everyone. I have a dream question.. obviously! Last night I had a dream that my ex boyfriend was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and was basically given a week or so to live. I didn't find out from him, and when I went to see him, he wouldn't really acknowledge my being upset about it. He wasn't upset at all, and neither was our other friend who was there with him. He was giving away braided friendship bracelets to everyone as something to remember him by, and he didn't give me one, which REALLY upset me. The whole dream, I was crying my eyes out, and no one really comforted me or even acknowledged that I was crying.
About two weeks ago, I had a shorter, less detailed dream in which the same ex was again diagnosed with cancer. He was at peace with it, and again, I was fairly upset.
Not sure if this is related, but the last time I was having recurring dreams about my ex, something major happened. We hadn't spoken or seen each other in awhile, and I was having all of these dreams that he wanted me back, or was breaking up with his girlfriend so we could be together. After about two weeks of those dreams, the day before I was going to the state he lives to visit my friends, he broke up with his girlfriend, and I spent a lot of time with him that week. We didn't (and never will) get back together or anything, but it did sort of start a friendship for us after not having talked in a pretty long time.
Any insight is definitely appreciated. Thanks!!:D

Well, maybe it means that you were having struggles with him (which represents cancer). He had no problems with anyone except you and you felt hurt by him. (Explains the bracelets?) Maybe you kept having dreams about getting back together because you didn't feel like it was meant to be over. Maybe your mind was telling you even if this wasn't a great experience I'm sure we could still have something if you ever met again. Not meaning a relationship but, a friendship. I don't know. It's just an idea. Hope it helped.
