Mostly I think he is wildly curious.  And maybe that drive--that 
absolutely unbearable need to know--is not just Harry's usual 
curiosity, but is part of the effect Voldemort is having on him.  It 
is Voldemort, not Harry, who desperately wants to see what's at the 
end of the corridor (and thus makes Harry want the dreams to 
continue).
