The most likely explanation for this dream is that you'd like this person to tell you that they love you in real life.
A lot of the time, our dreams are based on our hopes and fears. Who was the person who told you that they loved you in your dream? If it was a partner, or somebody that you have a crush on, then it's very likely that your dream was just a manifestation of a desire of yours.
Alternatively, you could take your dream as some kind of positive omen for the future. Maybe this person will tell you that they love you. However, as this is a dream and not a premonition, you need to remember that the person in your dream is just a mental projection, not really them.
What If I Don't Have Feelings For This Person? Then maybe you fear that they have feelings for you. Have they been talking to you more than you're comfortable with, or been acting in a way that has made you wonder whether they have a crush on you? If so, then your dream could symbolize your fear of the person putting you in a difficult position by confessing their love for you.
