Supernatural 14.5 "Nightmare Logic" Comments

Not sure if some things here resonate from 2.20 ep of Supernatural What Is And What Should Never Be... since in that in the commentary to it, I alluded to Dean (Jensen Ackles) not having any wish granted and was just fodder for the Djinn to feed off in his alternate reality, there was nothing alternate about it in the longrun; but mostly what had gone before and plenty of wishful thinking on his part.
I also wrote of how everyone was forcing Dean to stay in that fantasy world of 2.20.  But Dean is the only one who can end this nightmare.  As I opted to use nightmare as opposed to another word as that's exactly what it was for him: a nightmare.  Almost never ending as he was made to relive this world where nothing was real.  Then here they used Nightmare Logic in the title.  Gosh was that my subconscious foreshadowing to season 14 (I wish! ha).  Actually what was with the title Nightmare Logic?  More logical to assume Dean is still reliving the 'nightmare' of having Michael inside his body.  That perhaps Michael is still there, or was there something more such as the Djinn trying to manipulate him into believing he saw something scary or nothing at all remotely about Dean or Michael?

The silly part of my thinking was that it was somehow some allusion to his experience in 2.20 and that somehow something that happened there will become an offshoot of this here?
I recall Jensen in one interview commenting on 2.20 where he said "...it [Djinn] basically gets its hands on me and sucks out what my innermost desires are..."  A mirror image repeat here since the Djinn did appear to do exactly that again here in 14.5 as he sees something drastic, or could it have been something else.  Something you're not quite sure about as far as Supernatural goes.

And ending with "...Dean's desire is that this life would have never happened for them, that they would have lived a normal life..." and what if this was possible.  One day, what if?  That's one question always asked and wonder if one day it may get to happen if the show ever draws to a close.
John Shiban on 2.20 remarked how this ep was  "a big twist in the whole genie idea."

Also in the previous ep to this Sam (Jared Padalecki) is on the phone talking about the knife dipped in lamb's blood and in this ep this is what they need but don't have to kill the Djinn.  Obviously it was always the nurse there was something surefire creepy about him, as well as him disappearing, conveniently when Dean was talking about Dad and his past.
