You do bring up a good point but it's not what they were wearing or how old they were, it's that he saw there faces. When you forget something that important for that long you don't just suddenly remember it. It's kind of like when you're describing something, but you totally forget the name and then it rots away at you forever, and then a week later, someone mentions it off hand and you feel like you've gone through a personal enlightenment. I believe reality was that reminder. |

Well for one, in dreams the top stays perfectly stable, and only in real life does it show any signs of toppling over. Secondly, his dreams are based on memories, so it wouldn't make sense for him to see his kids' faces since he never saw them in actuality. Thirdly, he has a wedding ring in his dreams apparently, and in real life he doesnt. In the final scene of the movie he doesnt have a ring, so i say he's awake. |

Ah but guys, you're forgetting that the wobbling top could just be another lie put into that layer of the dream to convince him that it's reality. Face it - you can never know! Also, I paid £3.05 for it, suckahs. That's $4.75 |

I thought the same thing at first, but if he is in a dream at the end, he would have to have been in Limbo for the entire movie, and it's clear that he did kill himself at one point, which should have woken him up even from Limbo. Of course there is the whole sedative thing that would imply he'd just be stuck in Limbo again, but earlier in the movie he spun the top, ready to shoot himself if it didn't fall over, which it did. Of course if he could layer it into the dream at the end, of course he could have then, but at the end he had a reason to want it to be real, at that time he was about to run away from yet another group of people after him, it doesn't make sense that he'd be dreaming then, so I find the in limbo the entire time thing very unlikely. Also, I take his wedding band at a detail there for the sole reason of distinguishing the ending. Every time he's awake, he doesn't have a wedding ring, and every time he's dreaming, he is wearing one, since he can't give Mal up in the dreams. At the very end he has no wedding ring. TLDR version: He was awake |

^ agreed but some people speculate that he lost his ring in his dreams because he was able to forgive himself |

crossed my mind too, but I decided to ignore it because it contradicts how I want it to end. |
