He doesn't even know any "Sams." / Dean can’t see or hear or feel Sam, even though Sam is right there. Dean is blind and deaf to any evidence of Sam’s existence.

Dean’s in a good mood. You’re trying to be in a good enough mood, to find the balance between qualified denial and sober recognition. You’ve been at that for six months-long enough to realize that there is no good balance. Every ratio is destructive; you choose the destruction.
