@SM, yeah I feel that Nolan intentionally left it to the audience to make up their own minds about the dream or not dream state. I think the notion that what may seem like a dream to someone may seem like reality to someone else and vice versa is pretty well planted in this movie. On several occasions he poses the question whether we can trust Cobb's ability to tell what is dream and what isn't. although he also seem to ask if it really matters? To Cobb the dream state was the real world, and in the end he might actually have driven himself into a dream state while in the real world, because of his deep seeded need to be there. True, I might be taking it too far, but as we say in mafia, it's completely wifom. 
To me though, the movie isn't as much brain sex as it is an interesting experience. It's like driving a fast car - you have done it before and some experiences may have been greater and more fast, but this time around was still special and I'll remember it as a great moment. At that time it seems picky to be annoyed that the color was slightly off and that the car could have been a Lamborghini instead of a Mercedes.
- Gem, is also impressed by Joyce, but much more so by Dostoevsky - which is also enjoyable.
