Don't forget that the dream might not be about Person X as such.  People are
sometimes symbols.  A dream can also work at more than one level: your dream
might be about X at one level, but also about something else at another.

Don't tell him it came from a dream.  Let's assume that you interpret the dream
as meaning that you are afraid that if you become involved with X, he might not
respect your needs/wants/desires/space/etc.  You can talk to X about these
fears without mentioning the dream.  Good luck, in any case.
