That depends, perhaps, on how you view the very end of the film: At this point, Cobb seems to be finally freed of his regret and of his memory of Mal, and has been reunited with his children. The final shot seems to indicate that he may be still dreaming because his totem keeps spinning.
If so, then he has either lost himself in Limbo entirely, or Mal was right all along, and his world was always a dream. Their dream has become their reality. Who are you to say otherwise?

As a totem , he uses a spinning top that was once owned by Mal. He uses a Beretta Px4 Storm consistently throughout the film, also using a suppressed Blaser R93 LRS2 sniper rifle during the third level of the the Fischer inception job.
He is portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. The two were close friends and Miles did not object when Dom became involved with his daughter, Mal. Mal and Dom loved each other dearly and, after having a dream of the couple growing old together, Dom asked her to marry him.
The two had two children, Phillipa and James. Mal was also fascinated by dream sharing and the power of the subconscious, but it appears she also was among the first to realize the inherent danger of it. It was for this reason she invented the use of totems to determine dreams and reality, using a metal spinning top.
During an experiment in Dream-Sharing, Dom insisted on going deeper into the different layers of dreams. This resulted in the two becoming trapped in Limbo, unconstructed dream space.
The two spent around fifty years building a city around them, with many buildings created from memories of their past. Mal, however, found the only way she could stand Limbo was to forget about reality. She placed her totem in a hidden safe, symbolizing her locking away the memory that Limbo was not real.
He spun the spinning top, knowing that in the dream world it would not topple. This became a subconscious reminder to Mal of the truth: Limbo was not real and death was the only escape.
Together, Dom led Mal to a set of train tracks and waited, with their heads on the tracks, till a train came and killed them. The two woke up, having spent only a short amount of time asleep. Even in the real world, Mal continued to believe she was sleeping. She began harboring suicidal thoughts as she sought to free herself from her dream, but was unable to do it alone.
In her mind she felt it would be cowardly to leave Dom behind in the dream world and loved him too dearly to move on without him. Despite her beliefs, three separate psychiatrists declared her sane. But while Inception may appear to end happily, there's more going on beneath the surface of this final scene.
Some viewers believe Cobb doesn't wake up on the plane, and never reunites with his kids in the U. Nolan himself has refused to be drawn either way on his ambiguous ending, maintaining that the point of the story is Cobb not wanting to know. As Inception continues to confound and confuse, this is the case for Cobb's ending being a falsehood.
The detail that turned Inception 's ending into one of the most hotly discussed scenes in movie history. In the world of Inception , a totem is a small object carried by those who infiltrate dreams, used as a way of determining reality. A totem is unique to the individual, and should be impossible for others to replicate faithfully.
Cobb's totem is a spinning top, which will continue turning forever in a dream, and only fall naturally in the real world. Cobb makes a habit of spinning the totem following each risky adventure, but when he gets off the plane after a successful mission and begins the test, he's quickly drawn away by his children.
Cobb ignores his totem, and the camera cuts to black before the truth is revealed. While some viewers still swear the totem wobbles shortly before the credits start rolling, the continued spin is Inception 's first clue that Cobb might still be sleeping soundly in business class. Another reason to question the fidelity of Inception 's final scene is Cobb's abrupt kick-out from Limbo. During the final level of the mission the snowy fortress , both Saito and Fischer die, falling into Limbo, with Cobb and Ariadne following shortly after.
Ariadne and Fischer exit first, kicking back up to the fortress by jumping out of a tall building. After returning to Level 3, Fischer completes the inception, while the audience sees Ariadne wake up just in time to get kicked up to Level 2 the hotel.
However, Cobb and Saito exit limbo in a very different manner. As with Ariadne and Fischer, Cobb and Saito kill themselves in order to escape Limbo this is confirmed when Saito's hand moves towards Cobb's pistol but the very next shot takes place back on the plane. There is a potential explanation as to why Ariadne and Fischer return to the fortress while Cobb and Saito go directly to reality. Even with the time dilation, Cobb missed his kick sequence Arthur leaves his body in the submerged van on Level 1 , so as long as the sedation runs out on the plane, Cobb could feasibly wake up directly from Limbo.
Furthermore, it's implied that Cobb and Mal also woke up straight away after violently ending their Limbo experience. With that said, the ambiguity around Cobb's exit compared to Ariadne and Fischer is enough to add another question mark to Inception 's final scene.
From the moment Cobb wakes up aboard the plane, Inception begins feeling like a very different film, and it's not clear whether this is because Christopher Nolan is rapidly heading towards his happy ending, or because Cobb is dreaming his ideal scenario.
After Cobb wakes up on the plane, everything seems normal enough - an air hostess with hot towels, Fischer looking pensive, Saito making good on his promise. But as Cobb strolls through the airport, the scene becomes suspiciously idyllic. Despite Leonardo DiCaprio looking shiftier than ever, the immigration officer happily welcomes him back into the country.
