At the end of “Inception,” Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) finally returns home to his kids after spending a long time in the dream world. Cobb carries a little top with him. If the top keeps spinning, that means he is in a dream. If it stops and falls over, that means he is back in reality.

Is Cobb still dreaming at the end of Inception?

Why did Cobb spin the top in the safe?

By placing a constantly spinning totem in the safe, Cobb is placing an idea (and a very simple one) inside her subconscious. It’s not that she saw the totem spinning, but that it was always spinning in her subconcious mind. This is why she thought she was trapped in the dream world.
