In the end, he releases himself from the guilt of his wife's death, but we never get to see real reality.

Evidence:
"Reality" is still surreal. Chase scenes, kids didn't age, top didn't stop spinning, Saito conveniently buying an airline to accomplish a task, etc.
Ariadne is not her real name. Ariadne is the name of the girl in Greek mythology who leads Theseus out of the labyrinth.
The "combination" is actually his prisoner number.

With all that said, I'm not sold on the mind's ability to speed up to 10x10x10x10x10 and still process things coherently.

Spoiler: um, as I said in my first comment, the kids did age, check imdb.com, there is two sets of actors, one set from the memories, and another set in reality. Phillipa is 3 and 5, while james is 20 months and 3 years old. There is no way at 20 months that he was talking the way he did on the phone. And which chase scene in reality was surreal?

And how is having a girl named ariadne make that not her real name? Maybe nolan liked the name from the mythology and thought it would be appropriate seeing as how she was the architect and would help cobb. None of these things at all suggest that he is in a mental hospital.

Your theory is stretching way too far. Nothing in the movie suggested anything like this. You are trying to find something that is not there at all.
