They're also based on desires as well. Hormones plays a minor role too. It's all perfectly normal for both male and female teens to have sexual kind of dreams.
Don't worry you aren't a pervert and he won't think so. Odds are he has them too. It wouldn't hurt to tell him but you would have to tell him upfront that sex is out. Don't fret over this as it's nothing. In fact if you weren't or never had any I would say that's strange. Happens to us all. Trust me.
Your brain doesn't turn off during sleep. It's processing a million thoughts from fear, anger, doubt, curiosity, sex etc etc. It then creates pictures as you dream. It usually means nothing and cannot hurt you or affect your outside world. It's the subconscious mind that contains everything you want to suppress to the surface in the form of a dream.

Heck, I'm not ready for sex either, I'm 16 too, but I've had my own share of dreams. It's clearly hormonal. Anyways, if you trust your boyfriend and explain to him that you aren't ready for sex but still had the dreams then I'm sure the two of you could laugh about it. I say that honesty is good so unless it makes you too completely uncomfortable to speak of it, then I say there's no harm in telling him.
