I think Dean's speech to Patience about taking a chance at normal is maybe actually about if you can play it "straight", do it. Dean is heartbroken over Cas. His mom is missing at the same time, so he has an excuse to be devastated without it being just about Cas (normal=straight). Jody's speech to Patience about accepting powers and not ignoring them may also be directed at Dean, who needs to be truthful to himself about his feelings about Cas. Dean's over-the-top hatred of Jack because he blames him for Cas's death shows how strong his feelings for Cas are. Hope I haven't offended anyone; first post ever,
