Inception

Continuity mistake: In the scene on the airplane when they are setting up to go under, Yusuf takes a sip from a wine glass and goes to set it down. Then in the shot immediately following he no longer has a wine glass in his hand. Instead he is buckling his seat belt. (01:03:50)

Revealing mistake: When the chase in Mombasa has just begun, the camera is moving in front of Cobb at one point. Notice how the people behind the camera are moving into Cobb's paths, despite the fact that they weren't there a second ago?

Question: How do the people in the film share a dream? I understand that the briefcase contains sedatives to put everyone to sleep, but how do they get inside a certain individuals dream? How do they end up being in the same dream together?

Chosen answer: The details are never explained in the depth, but all the dreamers are connected via the briefcase, so it seems likely that the briefcase acts in some way as a networking hub for them to share the dreamspace.
