Lovely writing, as always. You make it look so easy - using only a few words or a line to convey a meaning, or impression, and saying it without saying it.
The dreams/nightmares were great - very creepy, and yes - made me wonder if he had ever woken up, which reality he was in....Scary djinn headgames.
Perfect tag to a wonderful ep.
And I guess I'm still not very coherent, or I'd point out my favorite lines....But I haven't had any tea yet this morning. Gah.

*blushes* You're too kind!

I'm so glad it all came across that way, and especially glad you found the nightmares "creepy." I really wanted to have that kind of feel with them, but wasn't sure if I got it right, so thanks much for that comment!
Oh, that was fantastic. And I can't shake the feeling that the djinn was right - Dean never escaped. That his life with Sam now is the dream, and he's hanging in the warehouse.
I love how you set up the story, the dreams becoming more and more creepy, until the horrible demon!Sam burning the family one. You write the horror pretty darn well.
I love your Sam, he does know when to push and when to leave Dean alone. Great job!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this, dear! And especially glad that you liked how I wrote the dreams. I really wanted to have a certain progression of events, and a certain mood for them, and this comment makes me especially happy:

Thanks! I like writing the creepy stuff, and so it's gratifying knowing it worked for you.
I love your Sam, he does know when to push and when to leave Dean alone.
He's known Dean for so long that I really do think he understands there's a fine line to walk with Dean. That's not to say he won't cross it from time to time, but it would be for a really, really good reason.
That was just... That was brilliant. I swear, every single time Dean woke up, I had to convince myself that you are good and kind and nice and would not let the head-messing djinn win out over Dean. But every single time he went back into the dream world, I was honestly, truly afraid that the RL had become the AU, and what if that's just Dean's existence now?? I'm still kind of afraid! Man. My head is all on sideways.
Beautifully written, too. Seriously--great descriptions in every aspect.
Dude, I'm all distracted by your pretty Dean and Mary icon. *stares*
I'm so glad you liked this. :) I got the basic idea not long after the ep aired, but didn't know if it would really work out into a full-fledged story.

*g* I admit, I briefly flirted with the idea of having Dean really get stuck there, of Jess being right about him never having woken up, but I felt strongly that I wanted Dean to stay in the real world, with Sam. Every so often, I have to give the boys a happy ending. *g*

OH, DEAN!
He needs oodles of cuddles, doesn't he? I'd let you provide them, but you're too busy with birthday festivities, right? *g*
No worries about insomnia overlap, don't you fret
Needless to say, I look forward to your reading your fic when it's ready. *g*

Dude, I was so excited when I realized they were in the right part of the United States to wind up in Minneapolis at the end.
If I start now, I might have a birthday fic ready for you....
*g* Hey, you keep me entertained year-round. That's like a perpetual birthday gift. :)
Happy b-day again, and thanks for the kind feedback!

He angsts so nicely, doesn't he?
I briefly toyed with having him stuck in the dreamworld, but I just couldn't do that to him or Sam. I wanted some kind of happy ending for them here.
And yes, Sam's the bestest little brother. *pets him*
Thanks for the kind feedback!
