*In the context of the film, ‘inception’ means an idea being planted in someone’s mind without their knowledge of this happening. Cobb explains that this is only possible if the subject is in a deep enough sleep. Then the person can truly believe it was their own thought, created by themselves while they were dreaming. Thus while in a dream-state things can be suggested to us by people who have invaded our dreams, which is the premise of the movie. If the dream-world in which the idea was suggested seems plausible to us, we may even remember the dream incident at a later point, believing it was our own thought.
