This article brings out an important parallel between film and dreaming, which is a fascinating point.
The first part of the article aligns with my own view, which is that nothing from the beginning could be real. There is a strange disconnect between the crew of extractors and the subject. While the subject comes out of his sleep with maybe only a dim memory of dreams, perhaps signified by a glance at the end, the crew seem to remember everything.
In addition, there are strict rules for dreams, rules which are specific and make little sense. Time passes at specific rates at specific dream levels, for example.
And there is the disconnect noted in the article, which I also noticed, that the wife is jumping from a different balcony reached from a different hotel room.
So in general, I don't think anything in here can be taken as waking reality. And that makes sense after all, it is a movie fantasy, and that is what I think it is meant to be in the end, which is a level different than our waking reality.
