SPN 13×23 Let the Good Times Roll
Wonderful acting from Jensen here. The “I have ‘em too” was clearly intended just to comfort Jack, with no intention to go into further detail. When Jack shows interest in Dean’s nightmares, Dean starts nervously playing with his bottle, shifts his weight repeatedly, not quite comfortable talking about it but doing it anyway because it might help Jack. He only gives away more of his story because Jack keeps asking.
It’s just so tonally different from the “I understand, I’ve been there too, now let me talk about myself on and on” scenes that Sam often has in similar situations.
Sam is just trying to relate his experiences to someone else so they can see that they’re not alone.
Jensen is a master at the cool ways you can act when a camera is all up in your face…. body language, micro-expressions, changes in vocal tone and inflection.
