Inception is like a fantasy novel. You have to accept the many fantastical Settings in it. But it is the best fantasy novel because the plot is impeccable in its setting. So first, explain all the Settings mentioned in the video:

1. First of all, there are six worlds. If we take the real world planned by the group in the film as a reference, in order of dreams, they are: the real world, the first dream, the second dream, the third dream, the fourth dream, and limbo.

2. Normal people live in the real world and dream in the first layer. If you want to enter the second level of dreams, which is the dream of the dream, you must take general drugs. In the case of general medication, there are two ways to wake up from a dream (whether it is level 1 or level 2) : The first is what is known as the 'kick', or the impact of gravity falling. The second is to be killed. Of course, such as the expiration of the drug effect is also a way not to.

3. If you want to enter the third layer of dreams, that is, the dream of the dream in the dream, the general drug is ineffective, and the intensive drug must be used. However, the side effect of enhanced drugs is that if you are killed in a dream, you cannot wake up, but you enter Limbo (what is limbo?), so you can only Kick to wake up. Generally, the kick is used to wake up the active person on the N layer, but if the sleeping person on the N layer is shocked and the person on the N+1 layer actively kicks at the same time, it can also wake up the active person on the N+1 layer. Finally, this is the way to pull the target from level four to level three.

4. Waking up in dreams can only be carried out layer by layer, that is to say, kick must be carried out successively. People who dream in the third layer (at this time, the first and second layers of dreams are in a sleeping state) can only kick back to reality after waking up in the second layer and then kick in the first layer. It's called 'miss a kick'. So when intruding into deep dreams, each layer must keep someone awake to kick in.

5. The time between layers is delayed by a factor of 12 or more, the line says that five minutes in the real world is an hour in the first dream world, but the multiple of time delay will be increased further up the level, that is, more than twelve times, that is, more slowly, so the real hours in the fourth dream layer will be decades.

6. Inception is a term used in the film to refer not to the theft of information in a dream, but to the implantation of an idea into the subject so that he feels that the idea is his own. Inception must be completed at least at the third level. This is for a reason, we can see in the dream of the target character in the film, the first layer of the dream is very shallow, a lot of consciousness, is the whole city, the second layer is a hotel, to the third layer only a fortress in the vast snow. The less conscious the implant is, the stronger it is.

7. Every dream has a dreamer, the "designer" of the dream, and a target, the consciousness of the person to whom information is to be stolen or ideas implanted. In theory, anyone who enters this dream brings some consciousness and creation of their own. So in theory, everyone who enters the designer's dream can bring in the will, but everyone except the target knows they are dreaming so the will will not be confused. At the same time, the master dream designer will be noticed by the target's consciousness if the dream design is too outrageous or if the creation is too unusual. In addition, the designer is only responsible for the scene and general plot characters, if you want to add a familiar figure or virtual decoy figure in the dream, you also need to have the "forger" character. The first to third layers of the mission are the dreams of the little girl's designer, and the fourth layer is leo as the dreamer. And the target on all four floors is the same.

8. Limbo is not a dream, nor does it vary from person to person. You can only enter if you're on enhanced drugs and dying in your dreams. There's an infinite amount of time in Limbo. In addition, there are only some fragments of scenes left by people who have been here before, and only leo and his wife have been there before the Japanese, so the house in the Lost Domain of the Japanese at the beginning and the end is the same as the one leo built for him when he carried out the dream. If you enter the lost domain, you will return to reality if you die, but the problem is that in the lost domain, memory will lose the method, so entering the lost domain is a last resort.

9. Dreams can be grafted. That is to say, after B enters the first dream of A, he can bring A into the second dream of B. This is a key point in understanding the plot.
