<snip>We don't know when Harry started dreaming or, more to the

Carol responded:
<snip> (And what do you mane by "where he started dreaming"? He's in
bed at home in 4 Privet Drive.)<snip>

Dondee explains:
Sorry, I should have been more plain. What I mean by 'where' is
where in the sequence of events did dreaming Harry tune in to the
conversation. I get the feeling from reading Harry's recollection at
the beginning of chpt 2 that Harry diddn't tune in until LV was
talking about murdering him. If you look back at the conversation LV
gets mad at Wormtail for lying about wishing to leave him (pg. 9).
We know Harry is better able to tune into LV when he is feeling hate
or anger - this could have been the moment when Harry tuned in.
Immediately following this LV and Worm tail talk about the murder of
Bertha and about plans to get ahold of Harry and a moment later are
joined by Nagini.

Carol again:
<snip> I agree that the dream is partially induced by the fumes in
Trelawney's classroom and Harry's state of mind (we learn in OoP that
he needs to empty his mind to block the dream of the corridor in the
MoM), but that doesn't explain Harry's perspective. <Snip>

<snip>Why is Harry, who is linked by the scar to Voldemort's
thoughts and emotions, not seeing from LV's point of view as he does
in OoP? Logically, he should see the eagle owl arrive and read the
message as LV reads it. He should be in Voldemort's mind, not his
own (or Frank Bryce's in the earlier dream).

Carol, hoping that she's not the only one interested in or bothered
by such violations of narrative logic<snip>

Dondee's reply:
I admit I was reaching for an explaination for the second dream. I
too am bothered by the confused logic here and hope that JKR may one
day clear this up a bit.

Cheers
