The time scale in limbo is stretched out to a much higher extent than in dreams since it is not a dream level, but a separate plane. The guilt of knowing that his Inception caused her to kill herself continues to haunt Cobb. Eventually, she committed suicide in an attempt to "wake up". After waking, the idea Cobb planted in her mind was still growing and Mal still believed she was dreaming. Mal would not accept that she was asleep, so Cobb decided to perform Inception on her, planting the idea in her mind that her world was not real.Īt this point Mal was filled with enough doubt to allow her and Cobb to kill themselves on train tracks in order to wake up. Over time, Cobb became dissatisfied with Limbo because he knew that it was not real, while Mal was beginning to accept it as her reality, as she saw Limbo as a paradise.
Here they were able to create a perfect environment together and "feel like gods".Įventually, the couple began to build from their memories, making the distinction between reality and dream more difficult to distinguish. Eventually they manually dreamt themselves into Limbo. It should also be noted that manually entering Limbo allows a sleeper to retain the knowledge that they are dreaming, making it easier to avoid becoming 'lost' in Limbo.Īt some unspecified point in time before the Fischer inception job began, Cobb and Mal were performing experiments to see how deep they could travel within their minds. Therefore, sleeping in Level 3 results is a sleeper dreaming themselves into Limbo. The only reason this is possible is because, as Yusuf establishes earlier, the team cannot create more than three stable levels of dreams. After Fischer dies in the Mountain Dream, Cobb and Ariadne are able to enter Limbo by sleeping. Limbo can be entered by traveling deeper through the dream levels. Under the influence of Dom and Mal, an enormous and elaborate city was built, though it has been abandoned and is decaying since Cobb's last appearance to the city. Because of the apparent lack of limitations, limbo is a dimension that can allow a dreamer to manifest their deepest desires, but also unwittingly trap themselves in a world where they lose their awareness that the world created is not reality.ĭuring Inception, limbo takes on the appearance of an endless ocean. Limbo exists as a shared space that is not dreamt by any one of the individuals dreaming together, but is a shared space where any one of the minds sharing the dream can make drastic alterations of any kind without limits or obstacles. Limbo, as it is referred to in the dream realm, is an expanse of infinite raw subconscious. Except for whatever that might have been left behind by whoever's sharing the dream who was trapped down there before. “Īriadne: Well, what the hell is down there?Īrthur: Just raw, infinite subconscious.
Dom and Mal's world built in Limbo, ruined due to being in a state of disuse for so long.
