My new T is somewhat Jungian and therefore really into dreams. If I bring one up, she gets out her pad and starts writing. She always writes the whole thing down. Then we talk about it. She's pretty good at it.
Unfortunately, I don't usually remember my dreams by the time I get to therapy. Just a couple of times so far.
My old T seemed more ambivalent about dreams. He never really mentioned them on his own, but he seemed interested when I brought them up. I did tell him about a couple of dreams I had that involved him. In one I trashed his office, and it felt really good, even when he went to go call the police. Sometimes I look back on it and think it's a shame that I never really did trash his office. For example, it might have been appropriate during the session in which he told me he was moving away. ;)
