BJ got it wrong. The only way the top would be able to unwaveringly spin indefinitely is if the laws of physics weren't operating as they should.

[@MalcolmThompson-rc1nb]

Yup.

[@TylerWx]

Yeah, if it falls then you're in the real world.

[@cypriot_amazigh]

It's not his totem, it's his wife's totem that's why it doesn't matter if it falls or not.

[@mikethemotormouth]

@cypriot_amazigh no it WAS his wife's. Once he broke into her mind and laid hands on it, it was no longer solely hers. And now that she's dead and he's able to claim it as his own, he knows it's true weight, how it should function, etc.

[@Damalatorian]

I want for them to think it was a happy ending but yes.. I were like "hold up" when he said "please don't fall" ...but it's a Nolan movie... it's hard to keep up with everything going in blind. I think they will have their own "hold up" moment when reading the comments 😂

[@Bob-Sacamano]

If the totem slows down and falls that means it's real, because that's what happens in reality. If it keeps spinning you're still dreaming.

[@richb227]

It's important to remember the totem must be your own. That spinning top wasn't originally his, so he can't rely on it to anchor himself to reality.

[@atomic_hok]

​@@richb227the only thing that makes it "yours" is the special properties it has that only you know, IE. Arthur with his loaded die he wouldn't tell Ariadne the specifics of it only that it was a loaded die because if she knew the specifics then he wouldn't be able to know if someone else was manipulating the outcome in a dream because they know how the die is loaded. Cobb knew what the special properties of the spinning top were so the totem could be applied to him and anyone else that knows the specifics. People say that his ring is the totem but that ring is only being used as symbolism for if he's in a dream or not, he's wearing the ring whenever he's in a dream because he said "in my dreams we're still together" when talking about Mal

[@user-eh3ej9bc5n]

[@caveritt82489]

I love the disoriented look on Saito’s face when he wakes up on the plane. Imagine living your whole life and then suddenly snapping back to your younger self and having to try to remember who you were!

[@thesprawl2361]

Isn't that what a lot of people desperately want to be able to do? Take all your wisdom and knowledge and experience and use it back when you were young, go back and unmake all those mistakes. 'Youth is wasted on the young' is the saying, because as you get older you think 'why didn't I just...' every time you think about your younger self. But Saito gets a redo.

18:13 "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling" "Downwards is the only way forwards" such great lines in this film

[@moisespalacios396]

You HAVE to watch this type of movies more than once to see it all. All y’all questions are there you just have to watch it again. This is a masterpiece of a movie.

[@phinlyn]

Ahh I love this movie. I remember watching it in theaters with a friend, and when the top was spinning at the end, we were both arguing about whether it was gonna fall or not. I was convinced it would keep spinning, while she was sure it would fall. We were a bit loud about it (though not obnoxiously so), but we kept it on, "No it's gonna fall!" and "Nope, it's gonna keep going!" Then the thing wobbled and then cut to black, and we both in unison said, "Nooooo!" We had everyone around us laughing. It was such fun. I'm still convinced it was still a dream. Because why were the kids always wearing the same clothes every time he saw them, even when he supposedly ACTUALLY saw them? It's so fun to speculate.

[@indierock110]

Yea my whole theatre did an out loud gasp and “no!!” Then we laughed all looking at each other going “what just happened!”

[@phinlyn]

@@indierock110 Good times, eh? Lol I love memorable theatrical moments like that.

[@annakaneshiro5688]

Another Leonardo DiCaprio movie I liked was Shutter Island.

[@mork5218]

The point of the ending (IMO) calls back to the conversation about the train. You don't know where the train will take you, but it doesn't matter because you'll be together. Cobb walks away from the top before waiting to see if it'll stop spinning because he doesn't care; he's accepted wherever he is as his reality because he's finally together with his kids. Whether the "train" really took him to his kids in reality or to a shade of them in the dream world, he's accepted this as his reality. The wild thing to me is that if this *is* still a dream, he's been away from his kids for so long as they're still really little, he doesn't have enough context to tell if they're real or not. He spent so much time with Mal that he can distinguish her shade from her real persona, but he hasn't had that time with his kids, so if he is in a dream he'll never find out. That having been said he's *probably* in reality because the top wobbles and his totem might actually be his wedding band.

[@saramarie2736]

There are two sets of child actors credited in this film, the ones in the end are 2 years older that the first pair, and are wearing different clothers. So that would indicate he is not dreaming because it is the first time he sees them in another way. (also the point about the ring being his totem...). But I do still agree with the train point, to Cobb it didn't matter anymore...

[@shanester1832]

​@saramarie2736 that is a detail I have not heard before. Very interesting. Not very obvious but purposefully done.

[@HeadbangingGlory]

The camera work on the hotel spinning fight scene is incredible and there hasn’t been anything as cool as that in years.

[@brandttashera4888]

This one of my favorite movies ever. Top 3 for me. I have watched it so many times. I even love the soundtrack.

[@beeboop5298]

His wedding ring was his Real totem. No one knew that since the top was hers. You can't tell anyone your totem so it cannot be duplicated/manipulated. He made it home.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

People only say that because the wedding band is on in dream scenes, off in non-dream scenes. But Cobb himself says that he has the wedding ring on when dreaming because, in his dreams, he and Mal are still together. At the end, when he finally sees his kids, he's not wearing the wedding ring and that detail is what lead people to the theory that the wedding ring was his totem, the end was real, etc. BUT that's not the intent of the ring as a symbol in the story. The reason he's not wearing his ring at the end isn't because that last scene is necessarily reality; it's because when he's in Limbo that last time, he finally lets Mal go. Even if he was dreaming at the end, he wouldn't have the ring anymore because they're no longer "together," as he's finally accepted that she's gone forever. The ring doesn't have anything to do with whether the end is real or dream. Also, your first statement is not quite correct. People knew each other's totems. Arthur says his is a loaded die. Ariadne shows her hollowed-out chess piece to Cobb. Eames has a poker chip. Everyone knew about Cobb's spinning top. The key is that people can't TOUCH your totem. That way, if a dreamer manipulates your totem in the dream, they won't know how to make it feel "right" to you (or act right) and any difference is your clue that it's a dream. So, e.g., they knew that Arthur had the loaded die, but not how it was loaded (or how the loading affected it, I guess). He knew the feel of it and what it was supposed to do. They knew Ariadne had the chess piece, but not how she used it to test reality (Was it fully hollow? Partially hollow? Did she balance it somehow?). According to Christopher Nolan, the whole point of the ending is that Cobb doesn't care if it's reality or not. He's accepted where he is as his reality. Personally, I think he might still be dreaming at the end. I mean, the kids are the same age as when he left. They're wearing the same clothes. And they're in the exact same positions as when he left. All of that sounds like a dream picking up where he left off and moving forward (now that he's made his peace with the loss of Mal). Also, even though Nolan avoids answering the question and insists the point is that it doesn't matter, this little snippet from his lecture to a Princeton University class on "dreams and reality" is interesting: "In the great tradition of these speeches, generally someone says something along the lines of ‘Chase your dreams,’ but I don’t want to tell you that because I don’t believe that. I want you to chase your reality. I feel that over time, we started to view reality as the poor cousin to our dreams, in a sense….I want to make the case to you that our dreams, our virtual realities, these abstractions that we enjoy and surround ourselves with - they are subsets of reality. The way the end of that film worked, Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Cobb - he was off with his kids, he was in his own subjective reality. He didn’t really care anymore, and that makes a statement: perhaps, all levels of reality are valid. The camera moves over the spinning top just before it appears to be wobbling, it was cut to black. [When I sneak into the back row of screenings], I skip out of the back of the theatre before people catch me, and there’s a very, very strong reaction from the audience: usually a bit of a groan. The point is, objectively, it matters to the audience in absolute terms: even though when I’m watching, it’s fiction, a sort of virtual reality. But the question of whether that’s a dream or whether it’s real is the question I’ve been asked most about any of the films I’ve made. It matters to people because that’s the point about reality. Reality matters." Did you notice that bit in the middle? Nolan says, "The way the end of that film worked, Leonardo DiCaprio's character Cobb - he was off with his kids, HE WAS IN HIS OWN SUBJECTIVE REALITY." I.e. Cobb wasn't in objective reality; he was in his own subjective reality, and he'd decided that, dream or no dream, he was going to accept it as real (which is why he didn't stay to see if the top fell or kept spinning; it didn't matter to him anymore). You could interpret Nolan's phrasing there either way still but, to me, that's an interesting choice of words that suggests he might still be dreaming. That being said, since the point of the ending is to incept Nolan's views on reality vs dreams into our brains, I don't really care which it is either. Cobb accepted the ending he got.

It was confirmed the end was in the real world by Michael Caine who said Christopher Nolan himself told him that whenever Michael Caine was in the scene then it was in the real world.

[@mikethemotormouth]

Sounds like #1 rule of dating: Just tell them what they need to hear

[@AzulApe]

Correct!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@mikethemotormouth Like when the "Die Hard" director told Alan Rickman the stunt people would let him drop on 3 but then dropped him on 2 to get a more legit reaction of fear. Or when they didn't tell the cast of "Alien" what was about to happen with John Hurt's chest. That being said, nobody in the movie was playing the dream scenes like they were dream characters, so it's not like telling Michael Caine something untrue would change the performance. On the other hand, Christopher Nolan might've just been throwing out any old answer just so Michael Caine would stop worrying about it. As Nolan said on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast: "I think it was [producer] Emma Thomas who pointed out the correct answer, which is Leo’s character…the point of the shot is the character doesn’t care at that point. It’s not a question I comfortably answer." Then, during the "Oppenheimer" press tour, Nolan told Wired: "There is a nihilistic view of that ending, right? But also, he’s moved on and is with his kids. The ambiguity is not an emotional ambiguity. It’s an intellectual one for the audience." And, really, the ending is Nolan incepting his ideas about the importance of reality vs dreams into our brains. The basic structure of multi-level dreams in "Inception" was inspired by Nolan's thoughts on iPods and the other forms of technology that were starting to take over and transform society around the time the movie was being written. In a lecture on "reality and dreams" to the graduating class of Princeton University, Nolan said: "In the great tradition of these speeches, generally someone says something along the lines of 'Chase your dreams,' but I don’t want to tell you that because I don’t believe that. I want you to chase your reality. I feel that over time, we started to view reality as the poor cousin to our dreams, in a sense….I want to make the case to you that our dreams, our virtual realities, these abstractions that we enjoy and surround ourselves with - they are subsets of reality.

If the top keeps spinning and never falls over he is still in the dream. If it falls over he’s in the real world. The director left an open ending for his audience.

[@Rascool69]

which was a great way to end it

[@killroy23]

Fun fact: the song they use to signal the kick is called non je ne regrette rien by Edith Piaf. Since time slows down with each dream level, the guy who did the score (Hans Zimmer) found that when he slowed that song way down he got this intense BWOWMMM sound, so he worked it into the score. It's been copied a million times in trailers, but not quite as clever as the OG.

[@kevking45]

It's actually a nod to the actress who played Cobbs wife. She won the Oscar playing Edith in a movie about her life.

[@Rickety_Cricket]

Ever since I was a kid, I could get out of bad dreams. I just need a tree. I sit with my back to it and tap my right temple. When I wake up, I'm actually tapping my temple in reality - pretty hard, actually! I don't know how it works, but it does. It's a personal 'kick' I've had for decades now. I can be in a factory, absolutely terrified, then it's like an alarm goes off. I find a way to get to a singular tree - in the parking lot outside of a tight window, clawing my way out. Then I get to it, start pounding my index and middle finger against my head repeating "I want out! I want out! LET ME OUT!!!" - and I do. It's a really neat trick tbh! I've never met another person who can do it either. I can also: Lucid dream. Be two different people in one dream. Take on someone else's body when I'm afraid for my well being. Dream I'm an opposite gender. Have reoccuring dreams where I'm someone else entirely the entire time. Go back to a dream once I've woken up if I do an "instant replay" (last 2 minutes of what happened). I can ascend, but not fly. I can hot wire ANY car or motorcycle. I'm a *perfect* shot or sword master if I have to fight for my life. I can breathe under water. I'm always an expert climber. I can rig anything I need to 'go off' - wink, wink! - whenever it's required for the greater good. I can fit through a mice sized hole if it means escape or discovery. I'm AWESOME in artificial gravity or wearing mag boots... It's really bizzare! But I'm so GRATEFUL!!!! I've lived *thousands* of lives while I sleep! 😊🎉😁

[@xzonia1]

It's cool that you can do that and wake yourself up. Most people can't because our brains release a chemical that immobilizes us so we don't move while dreaming; that you can move means either your brain doesn't release enough to completely immobilize you, or none at all (in which case you'd be a sleepwalker; I doubt this is the case because most people mention when they can sleepwalk if they're one when talking about dreaming). Also cool that you can lucid dream. I've never been able to achieve that. Not really sure I want to. I see such interesting things in my dreams that I'd never consciously think to even make happen. My subconscious is very entertaining these days. I will say it wasn't always fun. I had nightmares / night terrors growing up all the way until I was 37 years old, when I was finally diagnosed with sleep apnea and given a CPAP machine. That first morning after using it felt like a miracle; no nightmares! I'd had anywhere from 1-5 nightmares a night that I'd remember throughout my whole life from my youngest memories. I've died in my dreams more times than I can count. In some, my ghost rises from my body and floats about doing stuff before I wake up. The whole idea of if you die in a dream, you die IRL is nonsense. While I am sometimes awakened when I die in a dream, it's hardly a guarantee I will. Lol. I've died every way imaginable in my dreams, my brain trying to get me to wake up so I'll start breathing again. So grateful for my CPAP machine now so I rarely ever have nightmares any more (just a few a year like normal people). The dream world is a wild ride, to be sure. I just wish things made as much to me when I wake up as they do in my dreams. I'm often omniscient in my dreams, which feels amazing. It's like remembering who we really are, and this world is the dream. Loved reading your post! Thanks for sharing! :)

I played it so much that we found an old video my daughter made when she was about 7 (she’s 21 now) where she was filming herself riding in her bike with the camera in her basket, and she humming the song from the fight scene in the spinning hallway. The name of the song is Don’t Think About Elephants

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

One of my favorite films of all time!

[@jameshurley9551]

The last 45 minutes of this movie right down to the end, including the music is film making at its greatest. The spinning hallway scenes were so fun. Chris Nolan can do no wrong right now.

[@antoinettelopes]

The groan in the audience when the screen went black. 😅 It ended up being up to us whether the top fell over or not. I believe it did and it was real because the kids turned around. He never got that far in the dream before. That he left the totem means he didn't care if it was real or not. He was back with his kids, dream or not, and he was staying there. 🙏🏼 Finally Christopher Nolan has his Oscars for OPPENHEIMER but I believe both INCEPTION and INTERSTELLAR are masterpieces. THE DARK KNIGHT, however, is his best and one of the greatest movies of all time.

Turn on subtitles to not miss any dialogue when watching Nolan films.

[@Bob-Sacamano]

Yup subtitles are a must with Nolan films. In fact they're a must with most movies now. For some reason the audio level mixing with modern movies is just terrible.

[@mikethemotormouth]

I always have them on by default because I don't unconditionally trust a movie's sound mixing

[@SixFour0391]

Totally disagree. Subtitles distract from the delivery and the acting. When you read the script before the lines are actually delivered, it ruins the reveal and it disgraces the actor's work. If you want to read, read a book!

[@user-wr9ej6xe4j]

Reactors should never use subtitles, especially in comedy movies. You cant read the jokes before people say them. It takes away the entire point of a comedy movie. I absolutely hate when reactors do that

[@johnplaysgames3120]

Ah, you think subtitles are your ally? You merely adopted the muffled audio. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see subtitles until I was already a man. By then, they were nothing to me but distracting!

[@stacymata2327]

Cobb would only wear his wedding ring in the dreams. While in reality, he didn’t. Pay attention to his hand when he would spun his totem in the last scene. That will give you the answer: dream vs. reality.

[@Rascool69]

This is probably one of my top five movies of all time. I remember how it blew my mind when I saw it in the theater

[@kennyallen9086]

What you missed was that the top was not his real totem that was what he made people believe was his totem. When you watch close, he kept his totem secret from everyone. He touches his wedding band to tell if he is dreaming. When he is not dreaming he has no wedding band.

[@beefknuckles]

Great reaction guys. Just one small correction that yall slipped the definition of the spinning top on accident at the end. Top spinning forever = inside a dream. Top falls over = real life (just like it would work in our real life). This is definitely a movie that amkes a lot more sense when you watch it a 2nd time!

The one who is awake while everyone else is asleep is the dreamer. In the end they are trying to go into Robert Fisher's memory with him and his father and that safe. Definitely worth re-watching several times. One of my favorite movies ever. You have never seen this movie before, or anything like it.

“Deliverance” Three Academy Award nominations and five Golden Globe Nominations. The film is famous for the hit song “Dueling Banjos” It is an oldie but very goodie. If anyone else liked this film and think our hosts would enjoy this film, then hit LIKE.

[@TheSeiyoung]

Since you've now watched Inception and you've watched Interstellar, now you need to react to The Prestige. All Christopher Nolan films.

[@Eowyn187]

They made the totem, the jack, falter a tad at the end to leave it ambiguous. We'll never know for sure if he's in reality or not. But you'll notice he walked off from it... he didn't care. He just wanted his happiness with his children. Whether or was real or not.

[@kehdepermit]

One of my favorite Hans Zimmer soundtracks. If you get a chance check out Hans Zimmer live in Prague 2017. He does music from Inception, Batman The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Crimson Tide, Pirates of the Caribbean and many others.

[@SixFour0391]

"Chevaliers de Sangreal" is my favorite song from that concert. "Time", with Hans walking out, playing the guitar, like a fucking boss, is amazing and emotional too!

[@cypriot_amazigh]

Ive always felt the whole movie was a dream. Not one minute of it is in the real world. The insane, but quick, cuts that seem to have the same time of day. They were extracting leo from his own limbo thats why his wife is able to haunt him no matter where he goes. She is his totem. Hes stuck.

[@teknikel]

It would be a good experiment to tape a second reaction to this.

[@lifelessons2606]

One of my all time favorite movies. Let's break it down. The whole point of Inception is Extraction via a dream... Extracting information (valuable secrets and stuff) from an individual, in a way that doesn't make the dreamer aware that they are getting information extracted from them. Think of the dream states in terms of levels (alpha, beta, gamma, delta), where alpha is the highest dream state (next to being awake), where as gamma is the deep dream state (much harder to wake up from, where everything almost feels real). Delta, would be the like the beach scene (being on the shores of the subconscious, where true creativity can be done - anything is possible on this level), this is why Cobb was able to build large architectures from nothing... They basically had to go down to the 3rd level (Gamma) for the idea to stick and come off as it being organic, otherwise it would've been rejected. The spinning top simply means that if it doesn't fall, they are still in someone else dream. This is one of those movies where you have to watch it at least 2 or 3 times to fully understand it. This movie was well done though.

[@Danstraightedge]

Asia got it right. The top keeps spinning in the dream.

[@SixFour0391]

One of the reasons I thought that Cobb was still in a dream, was that early in the movie, in the classroom scene, his dad said, “Come back to reality”, as in even HE knew that Cobb hadn’t come back yet.

[@thinleynsherpa]

[@MissAmy9999]

Spoilers as to whether the end is real: I heard that he only wears his wedding ring in the dreams, and not in waking life. I don’t think he’s wearing it at the end.

[@skullgittorocks3727]

I love this movie. Never get tired of watching it. I'm glad you finally reacted to this. There are times when I go to sleep and feel like I'm in inception. I go to sleep, wake up and think I'm awake but then I realized something is wrong and then I wake up again. 😮😮

[@xoxoLuck]

thanks for reacting to this, I love Nolan's films, hope you enjoyed this one! Watching now!!

[@exelentJsR]

30:47 that's inception. they're making fisher believe the idea that his father always cared about him. Hes holding the spinning paper fan in the picture when fisher was young and thats the same one in the safe. his father had it during all this time and never forgot about that moment with his son. its locked like a memory. its the catharsis they talked about

[@DenisMaksymowicz]

Another Christopher Nolan film that's a real mind-bender is Memento. Well worth watching.

[@MoviesWithMarty]

One of my favourites of Nolan alongside Interstellar. It's one of those that just boggles the mind and you notice different things every time watching it!

[@kingoffire9373]

This is one of my all time favorites. Was a senior in highschool when it came out and some buddies and i went to see it and we literally came out, rushed to the car to get more money to see it right away again. Came out again and scraped up change for a third viewing in the day just to try to figure it out

[@BanditGaming420]

Hopefully you guys get into Shutter Island also. Another great movie you should check out is Lawless. Great content guys thank u both for all the laughs and smiles you bring to everyone!

[@iluvrolaz]

Yeah, you wanted it to stop spinning. But the fact that he didn't wait to see if it stopped meant he no longer cared... but, he WAS home in reality...

[@Tater4200]

He was in the real life. The director confirmed that

[@LordHaveMurcielago]

When did Nolan confirm that?

[@dragonreader3817]

If you have to ask “am I dreaming” the answer is always, yes

Much love to you two ✔️✔️⭐❤️

[@howtocookazombie]

32:58 Why did you said "Don't fall over, please"? 😂 If it falls over, then this is reality. If it keeps spinning, he's still in a dream (because in dreams everything is possible, like infinitely spinning totems - the same one he "implanted" into their own dream so at one point in time she opened the safe and discovered, that his totem was still spinning inside (but that was not shown in the movie)).

[@MermaidMusings7]

Inception, The Dark Knight trilogy, Memento, Interstellar, Oppenheimer. Christopher Nolan is an amazing director.

[@Jared_Wignall]

This is an amazing movie and it’s cool to see you two to watch this. It’s quite a trip and has what one would usually expect from a Christopher Nolan movie. Great to see your reactions to this. Take care and have a great weekend guys!

[@mickypinestraw7866]

I like Inception. It's been 14 years since I first saw this movie and I'm still not sure if I know. Having watched it, watch it again knowing what you know and seeing it all over with that knowledge changes things... Then do it again and again with the new insights from each previous viewing. If you enjoy being on the edge of confusion, not quite knowing what is actually happening and piecing together a story... watch Memento. Guy Pearce and Carrie-Anne Moss from 2000.. It does have an ending or a beginning.

[@Letha--Mae]

This is such a good movie and I'm not doing that!! 😂 Sorry bc I know I would get stuck that's just my luck. Great reaction 💙

Ok bizarre story. Last year I had a dream, in that dream I said I'll sleep this off. That 2nd dream was so odd I'm yelling Adam just wake up! I did...but only back to the 1st dream. At that point I thought I was back in real life, but nope! Still dreaming.

[@user-eh8cg4bp3y]

Lucid dream or astral projection. If that ever happens again, try to focus on somewhere specific - like outside your front door... see what happens 🙂🇬🇧

Reel talk! This movie makes the mind bend and is so fun. Maybe the body needs to rest but the soul does not sleep? Your soul journeys as you sleep. Astral projection.

[@user-oe7de5wg4s]

The entire point of Cobb walking away from the spinning top at the end is that he no longer cares about reality. He made his choice.

[@Beavetowski]

Finally you watched this!! Can't wait to see your reaction

[@Kriyavas1]

I absolutely love this movie and have watched it several times but I have no idea what it’s really about who is who or what is what but it doesn’t matter because it is magical storytelling at its finest. Every actor is gorgeous and 100% believable. Tom Hardy showing up made my jaw drop, had never seen or heard of him before but my God he was a definite show stopper. Anyway it’s fun to analyze and speculate but at the end of the day it’s a movie about dream states and like multiverses and time warps anything is possible and there are no limits to the imagination

[@jackbrooks5487]

Dreams are still a country of mystery, even to those who claim to be experts in the field. Are dreams created in our subconscious or are they a glimpse into an alternate universe? Are they glimpses into past or future lives or... Theories abound. I rarely remember my dreams, but when I do, they are quite vivid. The one that has stayed with me the most was pretty straightforward. A noise awoke me in the night. I looked out the window and saw a monster coming over our yard fence. I grabbed a hunting knife from the drawer and got to the door just as it crashed into it. That's when I woke up. I was so shook I got up to look outside. Just as I got to the front door the monster crashed through it. I woke up for real this time but got up to check the outside anyway. This is the only time I've experienced a dream within a dream. I don't recommend it. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@richrobledo6561]

Yeah I’m sure others have chimed in prior to my comment- but BJ you got it backwards Think about it! If a top spins continuously- that’s not realistic So that’s how you know you’re not in reality but in a dream To see a top topple indicates you’re in reality Hope this helps

I have only been able to lucid dream since I was born, the white blood cell attack thing happens often if you question the reality of the dream to the NPCs in the dream, especially if you ask the time, date, or question the structure of the dream

When this movie first came out, me and my friends decided to play a drinking game and take a swig every time they said “dream.” I think you can imagine the rest.

I'm guessing YOU have to imagine the rest as well because, after that many drinks, remembering it might be impossible.
