The unconscious plays a huge role in shaping human behavior, but many overlook the idea behind it. This is the idea that perhaps these unconscious behaviors can be used to alter the future or past mistakes or anything in between. Everyone dreams at some point in their lives and what many people don't realize is that dreams usually develop from past experiences or real events and thoughts. This means that if someone happened to see a boy wearing a cowboy hat with a feather, in one of his dreams, he most likely saw this person at some point in his life and may not even have realized it. It is impossible to create a new face in a dream.

They are found through Cobb's friends and undergo semi-probationary tests before officially joining the team. This team consists of Cobb, Arthur, Ariadne, Saito, Eames, Yusuf and Mal.
