The official answer to how Inception ends

Taken from an interview with the costume designer :
COF: How much does costume reflect the inner machinations of the plot, particularly in a film such as Inception? For example, Cobb’s children are wearing the same clothes at the end of the story as they are in his dream ‘memory’ throughout the film. Is there something to be interpreted here?KURLAND: Costume design reflects greatly on the movement of the plot, most significantly through character development. Character development is at the forefront of costume design. The characters move the story along and with the director and the actor the costume designer helps to set the film’s emotional tone in a visual way. In a more physical sense the costumes’ style and color help to keep the story on track, keeping a check on time and place. On to the second part of your question, the children’s clothing is different in the final scene… look again… [emphasis added].

he doesn't say one way or the otherhe just says look again.he either wants to a) elevate the mystique surrounding the ending of the movie or b) sell more movie tickets.
 
I still think the whole movie was a dream, with no end and beginning really, much like the penrose stair shit included in the movie.At least the times I've seen it, there is a never a definitive moment of reality. Perhaps this is just due to the ambiguity. I think, just thinking off the top of my head, that he inceptioned (uhhhhh, is that a word?) himself in the dream, and thus saw the ending he wanted/couldn't see without confronting Mal.
Who's fucking dream that was I don't know, but it all seems massively fucked. Then again, I ordered a whole shitload of drinks at the theater so my recollection is a touch fuzzy.
