That doesnt necessarily mean anything because the evolution of his character leads to the moment where he accepts his wife's death in the dream world (taking off the ring), and he returns to the same dream moment that he had not been able to get past before...seeing his kids' faces...only to move further on.

I think that there is no resolution, and that its intended to be ambiguous about waking life and dream states. Its saying that the line between them is blurry if there is one at all. Its the old mind-body problem.
