spoilers I disagree.. Remember Africa? He was in France, then in Africa, magically. Dreamy... Remember how he escapes from his "enemies" stuck between two walls? Typical of a dream. And then magically, Saito appears to save him. Again, typical of a dream. The whole movie is a dream, at the end he allows himself to see his children face because he's at peace, but he's still dreaming.

The real scenes in the film are made intentionally dreamlike at points to emphasise the idea that Cobb hasn't sorted his life out and hasn't "come back to reality", still obsessed with his lost wife. That plus reality in Hollywood films is seldom very real anyway and usually involves cuts to faraway locations.
