On the other hand, he didn't want to worry Sirius too much, which was a valid concern considering how upset Harry was when Sirius did come back to Hogsmeade. Do you think Harry should have told about the dream in his letter?

Well, Harry gives his reasons for not mentioning it, which shows to me that he knows Sirius pretty well too.  I think Sirius would have come back.  I think Harry also like many teenagewrs doesn't want to be seen as complaining too much or making a big thing out of nothing.  Adults have a better sense of what is important and when they need help - from having greater experience.  Harry really should have consulted Dumbledore because he was likely to know what to do, but Harry did not feel confident enough to go to the top.
