Yes - to me it seemed like when he asked that of Sam this time, it had nothing to do with Sam answering *that* question. He already knows the answer - he knew it in Wishful Thinking. I think it's *Dean* that really wants that life, either for himself or for Sam or both. I think he keeps asking because he wants it to be true, even though he knows it's not anymore.
