To my mind, that points towards Gandalf as the purpetrator of the dream (rather than Elrond), as even though Frodo hadn't yet set off, Gandalf had certainly put into motion his forthcoming journey.
Balin999, I've just reread
The Council of Elrond and don't see
anything that overtly indicates that Gandalf (or Elrond) were surprised by the turnout. In fact, Gandalf specifically tells Frodo that he
wasn't surprised by anything that happened, with the singular exception of Frodo (and Bilbo's) offer to take the Ring to Mt. Doom.
