So they could time the 'kicks' or let the people know when they were about to wake up.

oh ok i understand how Cobb and Mal woke up now, but i still don't understand how he gave her the idea that the real world was fake?
Also if all you got to do to get out of limbo is kill yourself then why was everyone afraid to go there in the first place? All the way have had to have done is kill themselves and they would have been kicked all the way back to the real world right? Perhaps limbo distorts reality so much that you don't realize you're in it.
p.s. i think that anyone that calls another person a moron for not liking this movie is a moron. you can't sit here and force people to like something whether you think it was good or not. i see it as someone calling someone else stupid because they can't appreciate a piece of artwork such a painting that is nothing but splatter paint. in other words at the end up the day it is all subjective and while i though the movie was good i do agree that they tried a little to hard to make it epic..

hold up ... some of yall really dont know what this movie was about?
what is so complicated? aside from the convolution, what could possibly be so hard to understand? the dude couldnt deal with the fact his wife died and he was the one responsible for it ... the entire movies is him trying to forgive himself/let go ... he finally does and can "look his kids in their faces again" .............................................................. if anyone wants to ask questions ill answer them ...

Maybe, from that moment on it was an inception to fix Dom's guilt about his wife's death so that when he wakes up, he'll be fine and more effective when it's time to do an inception on Fischer. Maybe Ariadne told the other characters just how messed up Dom is inside and the rest of the movie was their way of fixing him before they went on the actual mission that Saito has for them.
Thats just what Nolan does. He wants you to discuss the films he makes long after viewing them. He leaves possibilities just look at all his best movies:
Begins
Dark Knight
Prestige
Momento
Inception

he blatantly tells you how he gave her the idea in the movie .....................................
limbo is different than what they were all doing throughout the movie ... limbo is what saito was in at the beginning/end of the movie ... you cant just kill yourself and get back out of limbo unless you are rescued/realize why you are there through interaction ... remember when ellen page told fisher on the beach after they floated up from the van that everything was ok because cobb was behind getting saito?

Did it seem to anyone else that Arthur was the real leader of the team since Cobb was unstable?

TurboMan lied to you. To get out of any dream, all you have to do is die or have someone wake you up. That's why everyone was pissed when the chemist told them, he made a special mix to get that many dreams in a dream. So if they die, they go into the deepest dream, limbo. His special sedatives leave your inner ear function, which controls balance and will wake you up from the sensation of heavy falling.
Mal and Cobb were in a normal dream, so all they had to do was die. My thinking is, it wasn't all that normal. They were experimenting with dreams and managed to get to make limbo in a normal dream. It's why they were only asleep for maybe hours instead of years when they spent those decades in the dream.
Fischer and Ariadne jumped off the porch and woke up in the snow fortress from the sensation of falling, then the falling fortress, then the elevator, then the van in the water.
Saito didn't die the way Cobb did.
I think of the levels as:
Level 1 the street/van in the water = minutes
Level 2 the hotel/elevator = hours
Level 3 snow fortress/explosion = days
Limbo Cobb's dream/basement = years
Cobb went into his own dream through a machine the first time to get into limbo. So he was completely aware of why he was there and what he needed to do: get Fischer. Saito on the other hand, got shot in the first level. He was almost dead when they jumped to the hotel, but that bought them more time. When he finally died of the gunshot, it was before the van hit the water.
Cobb died when he drowned in the van and went brain dead which would take minutes. So he got pulled out of the snow fortress where he was using the dream machine and got dropped into limbo on the beach. He wasn't as aware of what was going on, because he didn't use a dream machine to get there, but Saito was there decades before him, because he died minutes before Cobb in the first level.
My theory is, if they got out by dying, it was because The Chemist turned off the sedatives and that let them out of limbo. I don't think they would've needed to jump through the levels, because the levels would've stopped existing, when the dreamer who dreamt them left. The chemist made the first level, the point man made the hotel and either the forger or the mark made the ice fortress (don't remember). They all made it out of the dream, so all that was left was Cobb's dream. And if the sedative was off, all they needed to do was remember that world wasn't real and to let go of it (die).
I think.
