Ah, that once again fits perfectly into my take, that the dreamiest parts of the movie are Cobb's real memories, due to his dependence on the dreaming. (I did spend that whole scene thinking, "How the fvck did she get to the ledge ACROSS the alley?!")

And I'm not saying the, "it's all a dream" interpretation is invalid. Heck, after reading the movie-making analogy I'm pretty well convinced. But I'm still finding it more interesting to ponder as not-a-dream. Doing so has even lead to some things that contribute to the it is a dream side of things (such as examining the totem concept in detail).
