But having that top spinning so deeply in her subconscious stuck, the act of inception that eventually lead to her really killing herself.

Thank you for this, it makes sense.
Ok, so Limbo. Some of this was mentioned above but not delved into very much...
We are told that you spend too much time in Limbo, your brain is mush. How much is too much? I know the time slows so much so that even though it's 50 of Cobb's years it was only a short while out here. So, they're saying you have to be asleep IRL for a long time? How long can someone sleep? What if you wake up normally? Are you unable to wake up normally, like you're in a coma? How about if you wake normally, say after a very long sleep of 15 hours. Would that be enough to mush your brains? I mean, eventually, someone would wake you up, and most likely, it wouldn't be any longer than that.
Is Limbo always 4 levels down? Cobb and Ariadne simply sleep another level down to get there, right? How does this tie into the "whose dream is this" question? They seem to be inside Cobb's version of Limbo. I'm trying to remember how Cobb gets to Saito. I'm thinking he just kind of looks for him and finds his corner of Limbo. It's not like he left and came back, right? So perhaps Limbo is one place with many personalized corners, which could make it very hard to find someone.
Again, I was disappointed that they didn't make it seem harder for them to save people from Limbo. When they first get in and have the discussion about how the drugs change the rules, they impressed on me how horrifyingly dangerous the whole thing was. Too bad they weren't able to make good on that.
