I still haven't seen this. Anyone?

IMO it's not a dream. The top wobbled. That's good enough for me.

Agreed.

How does one wake oneself from the Limbo state/level? Do you just kill yourself like Mal and Cobb did before?

If that's the case, why did they make such a big deal about not killing yourself under the heavy sedative cus you'll just go into Limbo? Is it because Mal/Cobb from before did not have heavy sedation?

But if that's the case, how can they stay sleeping since dreams within dreams make disruption much easier?

Okay, if Cobb really did end up finding Saito in Limbo and really did end up seeing his kids, how did Cobb/Saito wake themselves? Was there another kick?

Also, if Cobb/Saito are stuck in Limbo and the others have already waken up from the previous dream levels, who's left to synchronise the kicks on the previous dream levels to kick Cobb/Saito back up through all the levels back to reality?

Here's what I think (and I don't know if this helps or even makes sense... maybe I'm just going in circles):
The reason why they made a big deal about how killing yourself in a dream while under sedation brings you to Limbo was because Limbo does crazy things to the way you think; it makes you question what 'reality' really is.

Because of this, Cobb needed to go into Limbo to save Saito because Saito was stuck in Limbo, possibly thinking he was in reality. Saito probably knew in the back of his mind that it was really dreamland (that's why he asked Cobb if he was there to kill him?), but I guess people get so mindf*cked in Limbo that it's hard for them to know for sure.

And I think Cobb just killed themselves while in Limbo to get back to reality, as he did with Mal. I'm not sure because I really don't remember that part anymore...

Damn, I've got to watch this movie again.

AND I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. You know how Cobb said to Mal, "But we DID spend a lifetime together" and they cut to a shot of them grey and old? If they really did spend all that time in Limbo, how come they're young in that scene when they're on the train tracks?



Shit, so many spoiler tags, my eyes hurt.
