I see complaints about Steve’s Wanda dream, I see praise of Steve’s Wanda dream, but here’s why I loved Steve’s Wanda dream: the cymbals crashed and Steve ducked and covered his head, a man spilled wine on his shirt and Steve thought it was a bullet wound, a woman’s red lipstick looked like a spatter of blood, the dancers danced like they were fighting, two men nearly started a brawl, Steve’s eyes flicked nervously around the room, waiting for a shelling, and he flinched when he saw Peggy’s face – 

So it does show Steve’s worst fear, it does, because Steve’s worst fear was to go home to Peggy just to realize he had never left the war – Steve’s worst fear is his own PTSD.
