Totems in Inception
A totem in Inception is an object that test's oneself is in a dream or reality. A totem has to be unique to the individual and thus only the owner of the totem should handle it. To protect the integrity and reliability of indicating if that person is in a dream or reality.
Most characters throughout the movie have an Totem (as shown with the image above) however the logic in a totem in dream is very questionable. As the characters describe that totem has to be unique characteristics or features to distinguish if you are in a dream or reality.
However a more logical way to distinguish if you are in a dream than features of a totem, is to simply not take the totem into the dream and have it in reality. Thus the only way of checking to see if you are in dream would be to check if had the totem.
