Oh, Pippin, yes, yes indeed. I think I can agree with that, BUT I 
also want to add that adults and Dumbledore specifically had a hand 
in Harry's not viewing the intrusions with the same horror they did 
in OOP.

Specifically that nothing was done about the connection In GoF. 
Absolutely nothing. Isn't it logical for Harry to assume that 
Dumbledore VALUES his connection with Voldemort, if the only thing 
Harry was asked to do is to tell Dumbledore when his scar hurts.

Alla:
I don't know whether I agree that Harry regards his dreams as fine 
adventure, but definitely he considers them useful. 
Dumbledore should have been the one teaching Harry for so many 
reasons indeed
