Jaydee's Totem

Watched INCEPTION last night, its a great movie. =)

A Totem is an object that exists in the real world in order to ground oneself not only in reality, but also in the dream world. A Totem has a specially modified weight, balance, or feel in the real world but in a dream of someone who does not know it well, the characteristics of the totem will very likely be off. In order to protect its integrity, only the totem's owner should ever handle it. That way, the owner is able to tell if he is in his own dream, or someone else's. In the owner's own dream world, the totem will feel correct. Any ordinary object which has been in some way modified to affect its balance, weight, or feel will work as a totem.

Totems in Inception
~ Dom Cobb's totem is a spinning top. Originally belonging to Mal, his wife, the top has the special property that it will spin forever while Dom is in a dream.

~ Ariadne's totem is a slightly-hollowed out golden chess piece.

~ Arthur's totem is a weighted red dice.

~ Eames's totem is a Poker chip.
