Before you start analyzing the plot, you must first know some of the settings about dreams in the movie:
1. As the number of dreams increases, the flow of time in the dream will become slower and slower, and in reality, one hour in the third layer of dreams is equivalent to one month.
2. With the increase in the number of layers of dreams, people's consciousness will be closer and closer to the subconscious, it is very easy to lose themselves, and if the third layer is lost, it will enter LIMBO
3. There are four ways to wake up in reality from the dream: death, falling from a high altitude, falling into the water, and assisting awakening (agree on what music to play to prompt the awakening)
4. Dream totem: For example, the gyroscope, in the dream it will not stop, only in reality will stop, used to determine whether they are in the dream or reality.
5 With the increase in the number of dream layers, the more tranquilizers are needed to stabilize the dream, if in the third layer of dreams, the dreamer will collapse without deep sleep.

On the first floor, it was a rainy day, and the Dream Team hijacked a taxi and kidnapped Tipher, but unexpectedly, Tipher had received anti-theft training, and in his dream appeared an army attacking the intruder, the Inception team. They drove into the abandoned factory and were safe for the time being. On the way, Saito was seriously injured and his life was in danger. ———— Tom pretending to be the Godfather Meit, making Little Fisher think that the Godfather had been kidnapped like him. The fake godfather tried to extract the password of the safe containing the will from his mouth by chatting with him. As a result, Tipher really didn't know the password. But by this time the army had come to their hiding place. In desperation, the Inception team drove out of the siege. The pharmacist is responsible for driving to avoid pursuit. The other 5 members of the Inception team enter the second level of Dreams in The Little Fischer.
Layer 2 Dreams:
The second layer of dreams is in the old Fisher Company. Cobb uses a series of words to convince Fisher Jr. that he is now in a dream and that being kidnapped (actually Layer 1) is reality. Because Little Fisher knew that he had received special training to prevent the intrusion of dreams, he soon believed that Cobb was the one who had come to help him, and Cobb seduced Little Fisher into thinking that he was kidnapped by the Godfather, causing him to recall the whole process of his and his godfather's abduction, and it was the Godfather who wanted to set out the code for the safe. Now Cobb has captured the True Godfather, but the Godfather does not want to tell Little Fisher before the old Fisher dies. In order to know the true instructions of his father before his death, the Dream Inception team persuaded Little Fischer to enter the godfather's dream. In fact, it was the first to stun the little fischer, the outpost left to protect everyone, and the others entered the third layer of the dream together.
Layer 3 Dreams (the last layer in the original plan):
When entering the third-level dream, the pharmacist who remains in the first-level dream has a hard time escaping the gunman's pursuit. Preparing to drive into the river to stimulate the Inception team to wake up in a level 1 dream, 30 seconds to fall into the river, the sentry on the second layer has 3 minutes to awaken, the third layer of the dream people have 60 minutes to wake up, in the third layer of the dream, Cobb consciousness projects the character of his dead wife Jasmine to destroy the plan. Because Cobb couldn't shoot Jasmine hard, Jasmine killed Fischer to sabotage their plan, and then Cobb had to kill Jasmine. Although Fischer did not die, he fell into a severe coma and was unable to complete the task of entering the base to obtain his father's real will. The Mission of the Inception Team failed. ———— the dreamer made a dangerous move. She and Cobb enter Cobb's dream. On the fourth floor of the dream, they found Little Fisher. And stimulate the tip on the fourth floor, so that the tip will wake up the tip on the third floor. P.S. Why dive into Kirby's dreams? Because Kirby subconsciously wants to find Fischer. His dead wife, Jasmine, wants to be with Cobb forever in her dreams. So she will definitely kidnap Fischer
Layer 4 Dreams (unplanned)
The fourth layer of dreams is entirely a world created by Cobb and Jasmine based on reality, because he and Jasmine once went into the depths of the dream and were trapped in the dream for 50 years. Cobb was familiar with it. Go find Jasmine, who doesn't want to tell him where The Little Fischer is. She wanted Cobb to be with her forever in her dreams. After so much, Cobb decided to face the reality, he told his wife the truth: Cobb had implanted Jasmine and succeeded. Cobb's subconscious implant of Jasmine is, "It's a dream now not a reality." At that time, Jasmine was addicted to dreams and refused to return to reality. But Jasmine firmly believes that the world in her dreams is real. He constantly persuaded Jasmine that "it is now a dream that is not reality." It was the equivalent of implanting thoughts into her subconscious. In the end, he takes Jasmine to commit suicide in a dream and returns to reality. Jasmine, who is really in reality, successfully implanted the concept of "now is not a realistic dream". So Jasmine feels that the real world is still false, and only through suicide can they return to their children, so Jasmine jumps off the building, making it difficult for Cobb, who is in love, to accept. Cobb was saddened by his wife's death. The idea was implanted to rescue her from a dream, but it killed her wife. He can only be reunited with his wife through dreams.
After telling Jasmine the truth, Cobb's heart is no longer lost, and eventually Jasmine tells him that Fischer is tied to the balcony. He finally reconciles with his wife, and Cobb asks the Dream builder to fall from the tall building with Little Fischer first, so that Xiao Fischer on the third floor will wake up and continue their plan - Little Fischer successfully wakes up on the 3rd floor and enters the base, sees a windmill and a letter in the safe, in which Little Fischer feels the long-lost father's love, and the expectation of "hoping that Little Fischer will give up the inheritance company and break out of the world by himself", since then the task of implanting ideas by the Dream Inception team has been completed!—— while Saito died in battle on the 3rd floor. Consciousness enters the Lost Realm, and Cobb enters the Lost Realm (LIBMO) in order to retrieve Saito.
Lost Territory
In the Lost Realm, Saito and libmo are old due to the speed of time, and he forgets what happened in his dreams, when Cobb finds the old Saito and tells Saito the truth of the matter, Saito remembers everything and commits suicide, so he returns to the first layer.
Saito also woke up, their plan was a complete success, Little Fischer decided to start from scratch, Saito had no competitors, and Cobb saw his child as he wished.
Since then, the whole drama has ended, and I have also watched it several times to confirm it before I can fully understand it, which is worthy of Nolan's divine work, and the logical thinking is quite meticulous, and there are basically no loopholes. I like to watch brain-burning films, I am addicted, I hope that when domestic production can have such excellent works
