▲ 10 r/Inception
They need sedatives to have a stable dream within a dream within a dream for the mission... But Cobb and Mal didn’t have any sedatives when they originally went deep for many years.
It is stated when they are planning the mission that they need the sedative to make sure they can reliably go that deep and keep the dream stable. However Cobb and Mal never used any sedative when they went super deep into their dream state and created their own world, in which they lived a lifetime. Is there any explanation for this or does it possibly point to the idea that the whole thing is an Inception on Cobb. Or that Mal might have been right saying that they were still stuck in a dream? Maybe it’s just a plot hole in general or I’m just missing something lol.
