Worth a read
I think it was a dream.
1. The Asian man had spun it, and thus knows the properties of it (at least in the dream world). Both he and the main character were still in limbo at the time, so it's possible that he changed the nature of the dream.
2. The top faltered, but did not stop spinning. The children were wearing the exact same outfits and sitting in the exact same place.
3. The main character specifically emphasized "suddenly being somewhere" when talking to the female protagonist when describing the nature of dreams. There was a jump from the airport to the main character being at home with no ride home, etc (granted, this would be time consuming and add little to the story, but worth noting)
4. It's a sequel hook. If he's dreaming, they can do a new movie where the idea did/did not plant successfully and exploring what happens when he wakes up.
I'm skeptical @ above, as that would mean he was in a dream 4 layers deep (actually, 5, counting limbo). I HIGHLY doubt that, mostly based on the fact that this would mean time would go by exceedingly slow for him (and between him and his wife being stuck in limbo for 50-odd years, I don't think there's a way for them to alter time, despite their ability to alter any other aspect of physics...)[/COLOR]
