Dean proud of dating a nurse / Dean jealous of a guy who’s a doctor.
Dean being a doctor in Charlie’s dream. A war doctor, who can’t save his brother / An angel doctor throwing her reality to him.
Dean admiring the doctor from one of his favorite tv shows.
Dean bringing pills to Cas to end his hangover, saying he would need the whole bottle since he’s an angel / Dean bringing pills to end Sam’s headache. Sam rejecting the offer / Dean bringing Kevin some pills.
Dean fixing Sam’s wound / Dean and Sam talking about their memories as 5 and 9 year olds about Sam being hurt at the end of a nice day.
I’ve referred before about Dean’s secret wishes, and how capable he is. There’s no doubt there’s a lot of him that we only see from the patterns that he allows to show, but rather not say. And I think the doctor theme has been pointed so many times in so many ways, that I could see a part of Dean dreaming with something that at the same time he thinks it’s way out of his capacities.
It’s curious that he’s angry when he’s pointed he’s not helping, but rather the contrary, by an angel, above all. Or that while being in a dream, he sees himself as a doctor, but can’t help his real situation with his brother. His “respectable” comments, one in a way he can’t believe he’s dating a nurse, because that for him is in fact respectable, in a dream where he sees himself as nothing between a family that is “correct” and doing well in life. Then he’s jealous of Lisa’s new boyfriend, because he thinks he could have never give her or Ben a life that a doctor could give them.
His pills supplies, in the other hand, always showed his more irresponsible side, with himself, but also with the ones he loves. In the End!Verse he looked at Castiel’s choices in pills with very suspicious eyes, he didn’t like what he saw, perhaps because he saw himself in him.
One of Castiel’s notable features is that he can heal people with just a touch. Something that Dean have asked him for multiple times. But also something he had tried with his human capacities, and if not, he even asked Gadreel to heal Cas when he died.
Maybe since he was a kid, while being in the E.R. and seeing how the doctors and/or nurses fixed his brother’s wounds, he felt relieved someone was there to actually help. Maybe he admired that, and had dreams when he was just nine, that one day he could be a doctor, and fix everything in his life. And maybe he also learnt how to cure boo boos there, cause I’m sure the memories of taking Sam to the E.R. are plenty, or also go himself there since they weren’t safe most of the time.
The control aspect is one of the more notables in Dean’s idea of fixing things. He always seem upset that he can’t fix stuff, that he could have done something more, even if there was no chance in the first place.
His decision of allowing an angel to posses his brother for example, as a metaphor of not unplugging the machine that allowed him to keep him alive, just as a doctor could, was him showing control in a situation that is so relatable to reality. He also showed negligence out of his good heart in “Appointment in Samarra” where he couldn’t follow Death’s steps. He couldn’t managed to have that level of power, so while been everything, he lost control.
There’s also the socioeconomic issue that’s one of the prominent things in the whole story of Supernatural, where the brothers fall as something as real as our society -especially in their generations-, where poor people is told they couldn’t make it to be something like a doctor, as if that’s the pinnacle of careers, and only rich people could have that, and it’s so tragic to think Sam almost had that with one of the other careers that is supported with the same ideology.
All in all, there’s definitely the protector side in Dean and he still sees these roles as something admirable. As time has passed, and some monsters have been understood, maybe “Saving people” could add “fixing things”, if there’s any hopeful future in the family business.

hello my name is cass and i am getting upset over this blurry shot of dean winchester’s to-do list from before he got turned into a demon
using my very refined squinting skills, i managed to get most of the yellow notepad:
* 10/30 in oil change USE C???P FILTER – 3/A FUSES – 2 spark plug sockets – CHANGE TO MANUAL FUEL PUMP * LOAD & PREP TRUNK grab long guns & clean 12 gauge INSTALL ignition KILL SWITCH
TIGHTEN UP PASSENGER SIDE ???ER
YES, THAT’S RIGHT. DEAN THE GIANT DORK WRITES TO DO LISTS FOR FIXING UP THE IMPALA or hell maybe this was for cas’ continental yep lets just say it was for the continental i will fight u
Anonymous asked: why do you think its for cas’ car rather than deans? (not arguing, just curious)
At first I assumed it was for the Impala, but the more I consider it the more obvious it seems that it is for a car he is unfamiliar with. There are a few things that point toward this:
10/30 in oil change – If this were for his own car, he would not need to specify in a list for himself which kind of oil to use.
USE C???P FILTER – again, he wouldn’t need to specify to remind himself which kind of filter to use if this were for the Impala.
CHANGE TO MANUAL FUEL PUMP and INSTALL ignition KILL SWITCH considering how long he’s had the Impala, these seem like things he would have done a long time ago
* LOAD & PREP TRUNK – loading the trunk could easily be for the Impala, but prepping the trunk? I think the Impala’s trunk has well and truly been prepped, so again, this looks like something he was doing to a different car.
So, if we can conclude from this that he was writing the list for a car other than the Impala (which I think we can reasonably do) then the question becomes, which other car would he be tinkering around with? One of the cars in the MoL bunker? Maybe.
But there was no reason for him to be doing that when he had other stuff to be worrying about–the mark of Cain, Metatron, etc. That would be a project for downtime that he didn’t have. So it must have been for a car that was being used, and that he wanted to make sure was running well, which logically, could only be Castiel’s Continental.
