Cobb’s Real Totem - The Wedding Ring

Film/Series: Inception

Category: Foreshadowing

While Cobb tells everyone that the spinning top is his totem, many fans point out a deeper visual secret. In the "real world" scenes, Cobb is not wearing his wedding ring. However, in every dream sequence, the ring is clearly visible on his finger. This suggests that his actual connection to reality is his relationship with his late wife. If you watch the final scene's left hand instead of the top, the ending's ambiguity takes on a much clearer emotional meaning.
