Cool infographic but the information density is pretty low. There's a vast area of wasted space in the middle with relatively tiny parts of the surface dedicated to the things we're actually interested in. There are also some features whose meaning is not immediately obvious, like the crosses. Also, there are unnecessary elements like the clock. It's hard to see where people stop being involved in the dream.I think this would be better as a line graph in 2D, especially since "Cobb's Dream" is actually limbo and it doesn't truly make sense to have limbo "beneath" the real dreams. The only loss would be that of the geometry of the graphic, which while clever, does not really serve to inform.
