Actual Inception discussion time:
OK, help me figure this out. In the first level, they have the PASIV (Portable Automated Somnacin IntraVenous, actual name) device, which I can understand. Everyone is plugged into it, drugs put them under, something in the machine ties their subconsciouses together. I get that. It almost makes sense. What I don't get is the levels under that.
So the architect (or dreamer), puts a PASIV device in the dream, which allows them to fall asleep in the dream and dream another layer. But its already a dream, meaning this PASIV device is imaginary. Is it like the Matrix, that if they believe it hard enough it makes it real? I don't understand how imaginary drugs can put you to sleep in a dream that you KNOW is imaginary!
