Inceptionintroduces special pipe dream technology , butit go bad to give a clear denotation of how this applied science came into existence , and what it was used for before Cobb got his hands on it . The moving picture equivocally hints at a clandestine military performance , called Project Somnacin , where the armed forces refined the technology for mysterious reasons .
