***

Dean never had nightmares. He rarely entered a sleep deep enough to encounter them due to his desire to remain as close to consciousness as possible. This desire came from a dual purpose. First, one never knew when something might attack. He'd been taught early on that evil never rests.

The second reason was Sam.

Dean need to know when the nightmares occurred, even if he didn't do anything when they happened, he had to be able to keep an eye on his brother. Dean might not experience nightmares himself, but he understood what Sam felt.

Reality was scary enough.
