Dean’s first time as a trainee reaper had been just a day.  An awful, gut wrenching, heart breaking experience, but brief.  Temporary.

Any time between 7.3 and 7.16. Think the poker through Bobby's chest hallucination scene in 7.2. Then think that kind of stuff is happening to Dean, all the time, in Sam's head. He's gotten really used to applying the scar test, figuring out what's real, keeping functioning around the hallucinations. But what if Dean really does get hurt? Sam's trying to patch him up, but he has to figure out which injuries are the real ones and which are the hallucinations and it's hard to press on his hand when he's trying to keep Dean from bleeding out and if he gets it wrong Dean will die and Dean's out of it so Sam has to be the one to talk himself down and try to keep himself grounded.

Coping Strategies

Sam had been having a relatively quiet day until it all went belly up so fast it left him dizzy.
