Past simple

I need an architect who's as good as I was.

To-infinitive

If you have a few moments, Mr. Cobb has a job offer he'd like to discuss with you.

I have a test for you you're not gonna tell me anything about.

Before I describe the job, I have to know you can do it.

You have two minutes to design a maze that it takes one minute to solve.

They say we only use a fraction of our brain's true potential.

When we're asleep, our mind can do almost anything.

Well, imagine you're designing a building, right?

But sometimes it feels like it's almost creating itself, if you know what I mean.

Now, in a dream, our mind continuously does this.

We create and perceive our world simultaneously.

And our mind does this so well that we don't even know what's happening.

That allows us to get right in the middle of that process.

We bring the subject into that dream and they fill it with their subconscious.

How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think that it's reality?

Well, dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right?

It's only when we wake up that we realize something was.

You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you?

You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.

You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping.

This is your first lesson in shared dream.

That's why the military developed dream sharing.

It was a training program for soldiers to shoot and stab and strangle each other and then wake up.

Why don't you give us another five minutes?

What we were talking for, like, at least an hour.

In a dream, your mind functions more quickly, therefore time seems to feel more slow.

Five minutes in the real world gives you an hour in the dream.

Why don't you see what you can get up to in five minutes?
