It was this way for me to in at least the first year of therapy. We did a lot of dream work because it often was the easiest way "in". I think dreams can be very powerful and helpful in one's waking life. We can have experiences in our dreams that can provoke/inspire us to change or give that long-searched for insight. I think your dream of being in the beautiful water of the flowing river sounded very positive. There seemed a purity about it--like you and your T are in a close and pure relationship

I likely will get the "transference/boundary lecture" next session, however. Not to worry, we've had this lecture so many times, I actually have signs (visual aids do help) indicating that "I get it". I wonder if it might be his issue rather than mine.

I wonder too. What was it about your being worried about his treating offenders or about having the very positive water dream do you think he will see as meaning he needs to talk to you about transference and boundaries? You surely cannot help if he put in an appearance in your dream. I would not call this a boundary crossing!
