Is it a school? More specifically, is it an architecural school?
It just seems... odd. They didn't really go into it, and it honestly seemed more like a psychology class, or a Professor Xavier's School for the Gifted thing. I mean, Cobb told the teacher that he taught him how to explore minds... not really something an architect does.

Was that they never really explained how Extraction was invented or what uses it had other than crime. If there are any. But I guess that it would have some potentially very interesting uses in psychology, if we accept that theories of the subconscious mind are true and whatnot. But I digress. My point was that it seems like there is a whole history and subculture to Dreamwalking (I can't think of anything else to call it
) that we don't get told about. It must be a rather common thing, if Fischer had been trained to guard against it. Maybe Ariadne was in a school that teaches Dreaming in addition to architecture. Or maybe Caine has a secret life as a criminal Architect in addition to being a psych professor. But I feel like there has to also be legitimate uses for those kind of skills ...
Insert theme music here.

Wikipedia says Nolan almost ditched the Piaf song when Cotillard was cast.

If Dreaming was mainstream enough to be taught in schools, Ariadne would have known about it.

We get it, and the thought occurred to me in the movie. It is, however, just a movie. So... yep.
