i am actually freaking out over how PERFECT OF A PREMISE IT WOULD BE FOR AN EXPLORATION OF DEAN'S PERSONAL ISSUES, AND THEN ALSO HIS RELATIONSHIP ISSUES WITH CAS. and something that could also be narratively reflected in real time when we see him reunite with Sam and feel anxious over the fact that Sam settled down while he was gone
Seriously, it is a fantastic set-up for delving into so many issues if they decided to use it as such. It could offer such a spotlight on Dean’s emotional turmoil and Castiel’s own inner-journey, while also offering a really great way for Dean and Cas to heal and to grow. The potential is here — I’m hoping the writer’s see it and explore it!

“Purgatory is a really brutal, free-wheeling place, but it has different effects on different people. It will have a different effect on Cas and Dean as you already started to see [in the Season 7 finale]. But I will say what you think you saw might not be exactly what you saw.”
I just had a thought. What if Purgatory effects people by tapping into their fears or something like that? And at the end of the finale when Cas disappeared on Dean, it was actually just a hallucination caused by Dean’s fear of abandonment?
That was my exact thought too when I read the spoilers just now — Cas disappearing is a hallucination that taps into Dean’s fears of abandonment. This would be such a cool way to explore Dean’s issues. PLEASE LET THIS BE WHAT’S HAPPENING. I WANT DEAN’S ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE.
It really pisses me off how fighting for being treated like a human being is now labelled as ‘social justice’ like it’s some optional clique you can just join rather than it being a struggle you have to fight daily.
