If you look at the output from mysqldump, you will realize that it is just 
a series of SQL statements. Execute them with your command line client 
just as you would any other SQL script file.

mysql database -u username -p < dumpfile.txt

or use the source or . commands if you are already in the CLI

mysql>source dumpfile.txt


Where you will run into problems is if you didn't specify a 
max_packet_length WHEN YOU MADE THE DUMP. That option tells mysqldump just 
how long the longest single statement can be. If you try to run a dump 
file that contains a statement that exceeds the max_packet_length setting 
on your server, it will fail silently (server gone away).

If you failed to dump with a maximum set, your options are to increase the 
MAX_PACKET_LENGTH on the server to accept the longest single statement in 
your dump file or to edit your dump by hand and break your long statements 
into shorter ones or both.
