Hey, anyone else struggling with the hiatus already. Please read and review! I'm off to watch the entirety of supernatural again.

Bobby is looking around in an old house when a woman jumps out and attacks him.

'What happened?' John questioned

'This was when we used that weird dream root thing, right?' Sam commented.

Suddenly the scene cuts to a maid entering a motel room, unable to wake a sleeping Bobby. Sam is in a bar drinking alone and Dean enters, wondering why he's drinking whiskey at two in the afternoon.

'That's not like you' John commented, looking at Sam worriedly.

Sam admits he's upset about being unable to save Dean, because Dean doesn't want to be saved. He asks his brother how he could care so little about himself.

'Of course you should have been saved. I hope you don't still think like that.' John says, sounding worried

Dean gets a call on his phone before answering. At the hospital, Bobby is in a coma and the doctor tells them he doesn't know what's causing it or how to treat it.

'Typical. We have to do everything around here.' Dean commented, sarcastically.

Sam and Dean check Bobby's motel room and find his research clippings in the closet, along with an article about a neurologist, Doctor Walter Gregg, who died by going to sleep and not waking up.

'That's similar to what happened to you? What happened?' Mary commented, looking worried.

'You'll see' Sam replied.

Sam stays behind to research while Dean goes to Dr. Gregg's office. Dean talks to the doctor's lab assistant, who reveals under insistent questioning that the doctor had been conducting secret sleep experiments.

'Why would someone want to conduct sleep experiments?' John asked.

'No idea.' Sam commented.

Dean eventually finds a young man who was part of this sleep study and he offers Dean a beer, which Dean gratefully accepts. The man has a condition where he doesn't dream, and the study allowed him to dream by drinking a disgusting yellow tea.

'I'm guessing that's not yellow tea?' John commented.

'Nope. It's gross stuff.' Dean replied.

Back in Bobby's hospital room, Sam tells Dean about African Dream Root, which allows people to enter other people's dreams.

'That's awesome!' Jo commented.

'It's really not.' Sam replied.

They surmise that this was the tea used in the experiments, and that someone killed the doctor this way and is now going after Bobby. Meanwhile, in his dream, Bobby is screaming, hiding in a closet from whomever's after him.

'What was after you?' Cas asked.

'You'll see.' Bobby replied.

Dean suggests to Sam that they take the Dream Root and get inside Bobby's dream to save him. Sam points out it is hard to come by, so Dean suggests contacting Bela.

'Bela? Really. You guys really need to stop having to rely on her.' Jo commented.

Sam is on the computer and hears a knock at the door.

Sam sighed, realising what was about to happen. Dean frowned as he didn't remember this happening.

Bela comes in wearing a beige trench coat and takes off the coat, revealing lingerie underneath.

Sam went red and sighed. There was an awkward silence.

She kisses Sam and they land on the bed in a heat of passion, just before Dean shouts to Sam to wake up. Sam wakes up rattled, especially when Dean mentions Bela.

'I knew you were having some kind of sex dream. I didn't realise you liked Bela though.' Dean said, laughing.

'Shut up.' Sam replied, shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

There's a knock at the door and Bela enters for real, freaking Sam out more. She gives Dean the African Dream Root, claiming she's doing this for Bobby because he saved her life in Flagstaff. Dean kicks her out.

'Great to know that Bela cares about me.' Bobby joked.

Sam makes two glasses of tea and puts some of Bobby's hair in them so they can enter his dream.

'Gross! You drank my hair?' Bobby commented.

'We saved your life so you should be thankful that we had to drink your disgusting hair.' Dean replied, sarcastically.

They drink and find themselves in a version of Bobby's house. Sam goes outside and enters a bright technicolor world full of flowers and birds singing. The door slams behind him, separating him from Dean.

'That's not good. Everything always goes sideways when you two get seperated.'

Dean searches the house and finds Bobby in the closet. He tells Bobby this is a dream, but Bobby doesn't believe him.

'I guess the dream root warps your sense of reality.' John commented.

'It's a very strong drug.' Dean replied.

A woman approaches them with stab marks all over her, scaring Bobby. Bobby tells Dean that the woman is his wife.

'What happened to her?' Jo asked.

'She was possessed by a demon.' Bobby explained, quietly.

The woman confronts Bobby over why he stabbed her, and Bobby claims she was possessed and he didn't know how to save her back then.

'I would be able to save her now.' Bobby said, wistfully.

'Yeah. There are a lot of people we could have saved.' Sam replied.

Dean pulls him away. Outside, Sam gets whacked with a baseball bat and sees the man from the dream study, who's angry to find Sam there.

'Sure, he's angry because you wouldn't let him kill your fiend.' Jo commented, sarcastically.

Inside, Dean convinces Bobby to take control of the dream and the woman disappears. They all wake up a split second before Sam gets his head bashed in.

'That was close.' John commented, looking worried.

At the hospital, Dean asks Bobby about his wife. Bobby explains that everyone gets into hunting somehow, and he thanks Dean for saving him.

'I never realised how close that was.' Bobby commented.

Sam says he can't find the man in the dream. Bobby explains that his name is Jeremy Frost, and he wasn't able to dream because his dad bashed his head in with a baseball bat. Jeremy was able to get into Bobby's dream by offering him a beer, which he drank, and which meant Jeremy had some of his DNA to use in the African Dream Root tea.

'But didn't you drink a beer as well?' Mary asked, worriedly.

'Yep.' Dean replied.

Dean admits he drank a beer too, so now Jeremy can come after him. Bobby tells him to coffee up, because he can't go to sleep.

'That's definitely not gonna work.' Jo commented.

Two days later a very irritated Dean drives the Impala, yelling at Bobby over the phone because they can't find Jeremy. Dean pulls over and decides he's going to sleep, ready to take Jeremy on.

'That's not a good idea.' John commented, looking worried.

'It worked eventually.' Sam replied.

Sam pulls out some of Dean's hair, insisting on going too. Dean doesn't like the idea of Sam digging around in his head but Sam won't listen.

'Obviously you didn't listen to me.' Dean commented.

They both wake up in the Impala and step outside to see Lisa on a blanket with a picnic basket. She tells Dean they have to pick up Ben soon and that she loves him, before disappearing.

Mary smiled.

Dean denies ever having had that dream to Sam.

'Of course you did.' Mary said, with a small smile.

Sam spots Jeremy in the woods and they go after him but Dean falls behind and finds himself alone in a long hallway.

'I thought you said nothing happened.' Sam said, looking at Dean in annoyance.

'That may not have been strictly true.' Dean replied, wincing. Sam just sighed in response.

Sam looks for Dean in the woods while Dean enters the motel room and sees someone at the desk, turning the light off and on. A dream version of him turns around, and Dean gets it—this is a dark part of his own subconscious.

'And you didn't think this was worth telling me.' Sam said, exasperatedly.

'It didn't effect anything.' Dean mumbled in response.

Dream!Dean tells Dean how worthless he feels and how he hates what he sees in the mirror. Dean tries to take control of the dream by snapping his fingers, but nothing happens.

'It was worth a try.' Dean commented, sighing.

Dream!Dean slams the door and locks it, holds a shotgun and tells Dean they need to talk. Sam wakes up in the Impala to find Jeremy next to him. He hits Sam with the bat, and Sam falls out of the car and tries to crawl away. Jeremy comes after him, and Sam is suddenly tied to stakes in the ground.

'How is he that strong? You both took the dream root.' Cas questioned.

'He has taken it more.' Sam replied.

Jeremy says he gets stronger with each dream, and Sam and Dean aren't waking up. Dream!Dean berates Dean; he says Dean's got nothing but Sam, that everything he owns was his dad's, including his jacket, car and music.

'Jesus. You don't think that anymore, right?' Mary asked.

'Course not. That was like my deep subconscious, not what I actually think.' Dean replied.

He says his dad thought he was a good soldier and nothing else, and he doted on Sam while not caring whether Dean lived or died.

'That's not true.' John argued adamantly.

Dean fights back in a rage, calling his father an "obsessed bastard" who couldn't protect his family, who let his wife die, and who wasn't there for Sam. Dean says he didn't deserve what his dad put on him, and he doesn't deserve to go to Hell.

There was silence and Dean sighed and sat back in his chair.

'I...didn't mean that. At least not all of it.' Dean added.

'That's alright. I think I deserved it.' John replied, quietly.

He grabs the shotgun and shoots Dream!Dean, symbolically killing the self-loathing part of himself. It then transforms into a black-eyed demon version of Dean, a manifestation of Dean's fear of his impending death and transformation into a demon in Hell because of the deal he made with the crossroads demon. "This is what you're going to become," it taunts.

'Jesus.' Mary whispers, looking worriedly at Dean.

'You know. It's kinda ironic.' Dean said, with a slight smirk. Sam smirked as well. Everyone else looked confused.

'What do you mean?' Bobby asked.

'Nevermind.' Dean replied.

Sam takes an intense beating from Jeremy. Jeremy tells Sam that there's nothing he can't do because of the Dream Root, and Sam reminds Jeremy that he took the Dream Root, too.

'Why didn't you do that earlier?' John asked.

'I didn't realise I could.' Sam replied.

Jeremy's father appears and Jeremy is frozen in fear, giving Sam the chance to deliver two sharp whacks to the head with the baseball bat, killing Jeremy. Sam and Dean wake up in the Impala. Back at the motel, Bobby asks Sam if his ability to enter Jeremy's dream had anything to do with his psychic stuff. Sam says no, but he's not certain.

'It's probably just the dream root.' Sam protested.

'I wasn't able to do anything and it was my dream.' Dean replied.

'Yeah but that was part of your subconscious. Mine was separate.' Sam responded.

Dean says he can't find Bela, and Bobby admits that all he did was give her a good deal on an amulet in Flagstaff. Dean checks the safe and finds that Bela stole the Colt.

'Every time she has some other motive to help.' Sam commented, sighing.

While packing up to hunt down Bela, Dean asks Sam what he saw in the dream. Sam says he only saw Jeremy, and Dean lies, saying nothing happened with him because he was looking for Sam.

'Why didn't you tell me?' Sam asked.

'Because it was none of your business.' Dean replied, sounding annoyed.

They get into the car and Dean admits to Sam he doesn't want to die and doesn't want to go to Hell.

'Congratulations, you two are finally beginning to learn how to talk about your feelings.' Jo commented, with a smile.

Sam promises they'll find a way to save him. There is a final flash to Dean's dream with the demon version of himself, repeating to Dean that he's going to die and that's what he's going to become, then snapping his fingers to end the dream.

'Well that's an uplifting ending.' Dean commented, sarcastically.
