In the movie Inception it seems like the top is Cob's totem, but it's not. Cob says in the movie that the totem is his wife's. He never actually grapples with knowing whether he's awake or not, and he only keeps the top as a symbol of blaming himself for his wife's death. At the end of the film, Cob's walking away from the top represents his letting go of his self-blame, and there's no question of wether or not he's awake.
