Good question! I've been thinking about how sometimes people recollect severe trauma - in glimpses and spurts of emotion. I'm wondering if that's what Dean is going through. I'm also figuring that Lilith was a projection of his mind while he was sick, and her saying that he remembers it all was his subconscious mind telling him the information is in his head but locked away...if that makes any sense, LOL. I'm a bit loopy right now, tired. :)

I also love those little abstract flashes. Really unnerving.
