So, I actually read this the first day it was posted, but I read on my cellphone and replying from that is embarrassing (it hates LJ and refuses to let me capitalize letters). Better late than never?
Anyway, I really enjoyed this, even though I thought I was pretty much over dreamscape!fic. First of all, DINOSAURS. I was a kid when Jurassic Park came out, and some of those scenes are imprinted on brain, yo (mostly the one when the dinosaurs run over the crest of the hill). I loved the Sam was obsessed with them, because of course kid!Sam would love dinosaurs.
But I think what I liked the most was the happy/not-happy ending, where Castiel gets to have Dean, but it'll be a fleeting, quick thing, and then he'll spend the rest of eternity with Morpheus. And that's really the best thing he could possibly hope for, since he'd go to Hell otherwise. That right there is exactly the kind of ending that makes me happy – it's happy, sorta, on the surface, but it's very far from happily ever after. I'm kinda a terrible person?

Anyway. Yeah. I liked this lots.
