This is honestly one of the most painful scenes in the entire series for me because I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted Dean to do either. It was so sad, because I knew Dean was going to choose to leave, but it still hurt watching him torn between the life where he is happy and safe and the life where has responsibilities and saves lives.
You know what kills me most about this moment, this episode? Is that I know if Sam; the real Sam, wasn't alive and needing his brother, Dean would have stayed. Beause by early season 2 he begins to reveal just how severely depressed and suicidal he is. If there was no Sammy waiting for him in the real world, I think he would have stayed in that fantasy and let himself die....
Okay I am definitely a Dean girl and this scene just breaks my heart. But to be honest, its Jared's acting that makes me cry. The way he keeps a small smile when he's trying to convince his brother to stay and the way he sounds so relieved when Dean wakes up at the end. It's a tear jerker.
Before he stabs himself dean takes one last look at his mom and then looks at Sam and says he's sorry. 15 seasons and this is my favorite episode, it was so emotional and if you think about it it sums up the whole series, Dean being selfless and sacrificing his happiness for Sam and for people's lives, and Sam having to deal with so much loss and deserveing so much better.
What feels really tragic to me is that even in this world, Dean doesn't really fit in. Because his memories of life are different than the others, and he has spent his life being trained for battle, and stuff.
the first time I watched this episode and he went "what if all this is in my head" I was like: NO WAY!!! lol really the whole episode long I believed the freaking djinn really made his wish come true... silly me... but hey, the thing with dying in a dream that wakes you up is exactly what they used in Inception... well, obviously, Supernatural was first!! ;)

"Why is it our job to save everyone? Haven't we done enough?" Now why did you have go and punch me in the feels, Sam? :(

The part where Sam gets close and asks Dean "Why is it our job to save everyone...Haven't we done enough?" Is my wallpaper.

the one time sam's puppy dog eyes failed to change dean's mind...
That would have been so tempting to just stay there, & be happy.
This episode was so emotional

Sam: "Dean! Oh God. Come on wake up. Wake up god damn it. Hey...hey."
“Thought I lost you for a second.”

I think this is the most beautiful scene of all Supernatural.
This and Bobby's Death are the feels of the series
that score is so haunting and thought provoking. It goes perfect with scene.

Dean’s idea of a “perfect life” is one where his family basically views him as a drunken loser and his brother resents him.
This part IS extremely heart-wrenching. That's why it's one of my favorite episodes.
Dean really wanted to stay!! You can see the pain and longing in his eyes! 💝😢
