Why don't you print out your post and some of the responses and your responses to the responses. The ones that best summarize what's going on.
Copy them into a word processing program and edit out the Babble identifying information if you like.
I think he took the whole thing differently than you intended and there is a big misunderstanding at play here. You said some nice things about him, and learning to trust him, that maybe he needs to hear.
On the other hand, he does seem rather reactive and not great at keeping up the therapeutic neutrality. But on the other other hand, he does seem to care about you, is able to take constructive criticism, and if I recall, is pretty insightful at times.
Did you say he appeared upset even before you mentioned the dream? Maybe he had had a really bad day. Yeah, they're not supposed to let it affect them. But my therapist does from time to time.
