so dont read if if you dont want spoilers....

...but i may not know what i'm talking about so they may in fact not be spoilers at all anyway....

i'm too lazy right now to read through all of the posts in this thread to see if this theory has already been posted, if it has let me know...but here goes...


the whole movie was a double reverse 'inception' (or maybe a triple, quadruple or octagnal reverse 'inception') that was actually being done ON Cobb by Cobbs father (Michael Caine character)...


there i said it...feel free to blow holes in it though cuz i'm not married to this theory yet...but its the one i'm running with now...

i've got to go to a funeral now, but i'll try to post back my reasons for this theory later...(i've actually had a few different theories since viewing this film, so i may change my mind in a few anyway....)
