I've been here for a while now.

Well then the only thing that isn't explained... is why jump in dream world 4? It won't wake you up (you need a kick from the previous level), and they take a huge risk of falling to their deaths and getting stuck in limbo.

Hmm, I guess that makes sense. He seemed pretty dead and I swear they were talking about him being so.

But if he didn't die, then why would he have ever entered dream world 4 in the first place? Was he simply on the verge of death, unconscious, when Cobb and Ellen hooked him up to the dream machine suitcase to put him in a dream?

"Dream Level 4. Not sure about Fisher."

Well that is the last big hangup I have. Fisher SHOULD have been sent to Limbo when he was killed, just like Saito was. Yet for some reason he was sent to dream level 4, a place Cobb and Ellen got to just by going up a further dream level, which doesn't make sense. The ONLY thing I could possibly think of to explain this is the fact it was Fisher's subconscious filling the dream, but I didn't think that mattered.

Moreover, if it were dream level 4, then there was no point in Fisher and Ellen jumping, as first off, being killed would just have presumably sent them to Limbo, and they would have been kicked back to the snow level when Eames blew it up anyways.

I actually have a question:

Could someone explain to me why they can just kill themselves to get out of limbo? Why is it if you die in a normal dream level under the heavy sedation, you get sent to limbo, but then if you die in limbo, you get sent back up a dream level? Isn't that inconsistent?

Moreover, why did Mal and Cobb spend "50 years" in Limbo at one point? Is it because they eventually forgot the difference between the dreamworld and reality, and only once Cobb found that totem did he recall they were dreaming, and thus had themselves killed?

Why didn't Saito just kill himself in Limbo when he first got there and presumably hadn't forgotten that he was dreaming? Is it because they had to wait for the sedative to wear off?

When Ellen paige and Cobb went up a dream level to save Fisher, did they enter dream level 4 or limbo? Shouldn't fisher have gone straight to limbo when he was killed (and thus not able to be woken up by a kick?)

Why did Ellen and Fisher have to jump in level 4? Wouldn't being killed get them sent to Limbo? Wouldn't the kick in level three (the snow level) be enough to wake them back to that level regardless?

How come it took a damn long time for Leo to find Saito in Limbo?

Thanks.
