Yeah. I think it would be dumb if the whole thing was a dream but why didn't the top fall over at the end?! DDDD:

ooooh. Because THAT was a dream.


They never showed them going back to the real world. They just showed Cobb getting lost in limbo.

So, the whole thing wasn't limbo? Now why did they show the beginning they showed? Like they showed him finding that guy and stuff.

Ok, I didn't really get why they showed the beginning part. But the way I understood it, it was just a cut. And it wasn't related to the next scene where there's the younger Saito. Because there wasn't a kick and they enter another dream state to get from the "old man Saito" scene to the "new man Saito" scene.

I wish I could remember where the quote came from (the quote about the train going to nowhere? @_@ ). That's the only thing I'm confused about and which could suggest that the whole thing is a dream. That quote is the most confusing thing because three different people say it to each other (Mal, Cobb, and Saito)? And it's hard to keep track of who's subconscious is in whose...

This is how I see it. It shows how he got the mission and how he met all those people. Then they do the mission but once he goes into limbo.. the story only follows him. The other people did get back, but you don't see it. When he wakes up on the plane... its limbo. And thats all I have. I can't make it make sense any other way. The way my brother says it all works... is just dumb, IMO. I can't even explain his way

If the entire movie was a dream, I'd be sooooooo let down. It'd be like... Sixth Sense or something and way too gimmicky.
