in the movies, the sabor reflects in the eyes and other reflective materials? Would you say their toy they used was just glowing?

"Inception" is a movie name. The correct term for this is "recursion", whereupon something loops into itself.

The term "Inception", being synomous for "recursion", is technically internet slang, born through the name of a movie infamous for featuring recursive dreams.

You say "command z" but this is clearly windows, are you using bootcamp?
