And that's what I don't get. John sold his soul to save Dean's life, so why would Dean think that? Is it something left over from before that incident? Something so deep-seated(sp?) that even his dad going to hell for him isn't able to get rid of it? I think that's easily explained: Remember when Dean asks Bobby how Jeremy knew how to produce Bobby's biggest nightmare and Bobby stated that he just rummaged around in his head, bringing it up. The confrontation with dream!Dean was after all initiated by Jeremy and I think he just brought up thoughts and memories that were especially hurtful for Dean, no matter of when they manifested in Dean's brain. I am with Jo here, that dream!Dean just brings out Dean's insecurity over John never calling when he was dying. We see in 'In My Time Of Dying' that Dean believed at that point that John didn't care enough to do anything to save him. I think it all rooted back in the events of Faith. It's a memory that preceded John's sacrifice for Dean's life, so it doesn't mean that he still believes that now. :)
