Possibly Dean joked about the main BECAUSE he knew well how things got cleaned.... this sort of guilt-discomfort-deflection that he sometimes does - or does in fic somethingm though....
The holy oil worried me toooo! Didn't the once have trouble getting any? But then I decided they apparently could just bless oil like with water, and pretended they broke into a grocery store and blessed it all.... remember the days when they actually had to go and get things and drive across the country and use connections and pay with favors and hustle pool? I miss th ose stories....
Consider this - had it been a flashback, why would Sam yell "what does it mean"? He's had so many flashbacks, he knows them! The Empty is probably the void of "The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, "? Does everyone assume this? Could be Billy, of course - rival side, Dean with one Sam with the other.... hope not again ....
where my mind was at is - when I have flashbacks I don't think "what does this mean as much as "ugh" or "this again" or even "crap crap this is bad timing this hasn't happened in a while why?!" - but my "why" is "what triggered this? Am I in a bad place and not paying attetion to it?" (which Sam surely is), "am I hungry/tired/lonely and not paying attention to it?", things like that - I am not generally having an existential moment, unless it's just about me being down for having to deal with flashbacks. If I prayed and then had a flashback, I might be bitter about it or find t funny, I might have some part of myself toying with the concept that it meant something - but I would not be yelling into open corridors "what does it mean?" (probably)
Sam has been having flashbacks for at lease at least two years now, more like four probably? He is familiar with them.
This was a different sort of image than his usual flashbacks, though - maybe he is concerned with the difference (again - more of an "I should think about this, less of a dramatic thing!.... )
Or maybe it's things that did not actually happen to him or that felt very different from a flashback - so that might be more of a reason....
or he is just emotionally exhausted and physically in a bad place and goes a little bit wild there, is all .... ??
