Not quite certain but if you look at the timeline events are working themselves out. I am not sure how long a period the dreams occured. Gandalf reached Hobbiton on 12th April. Boromir set out on July 4. Does it have to be a specifice entity sending the dream - could it be some kind of collective unconscious/synchronicity at work? However the original name of Gandalf "Olorin" connects him with dreams and visons,
