My theory is that Inception isn't even about dreams; it's actually a story about a man addicted to video games.
Think about how everything in the movie appears as a video game; we have architects or "video-game designers" that create the levels, Cobb and his crew of slackers play as the heroes of the video game while they lay down in lawn chairs in Dom's basement. Doesn't the suitcase look like a video game console, with the IV tubes acting as wires for the game controllers? Each character gets to play in their own level.. the levels themselves get more difficult as you go on (more intricate designs and tougher enemies to battle).. the projections are simply AI. We have a city level complete with a car chase through the city. Level two is a hotel with a zero-gravity boss fight. Level 3 is the snow level where the player gets to ski, ride a snow-mobile, snipe enemies, and throw grenades. Level 4 is the final battle where the main hero faces off against the final boss, Mal and rescue the damsel in distress, Fischer. Finally the player is rewarded with an ending scene (Inception completed. Cobb reunited with kids) and then roll credits. In reality Cobb is a laid off employee for a video-game company (note the ragged suit and stubble), whose wife took his kids and left him because he would spend his days playing video-games instead of bringing home the bacon. Inception is basically about a group of hard-core gamers living out their fantasies in virtual reality. Mr. Saito is the developer for the newest video game, Inception, which Dom is offered a new job of testing.. this game is said to be the most difficult to complete however, so he must assemble his team of gamers and isolate themselves from the rest of society in a 747 in which they have 10 hours to complete the game.
