MORE SPOILERS

If we go by the idea of a "kick at every level"

Wake up from lowest level - kick from Ariadne falling combined with snow explosions
Wake up from snow dream - snow explosions combined with Elevator
Wake up from Hotel dream - Elevator combined with Van hitting water
Wake up from van dream - Timer runs out (kick didn't work here because someone would have had to perform a kick on them on the airplane).

Yes, that does make sense, and I guess Nolan did this to explain why arthur didn't wake up when the van first went over the railing (the first van kick). Probably to create suspense by having a limited time (the van falling) to finish the job. I just think it goes against the earlier precedent that was set.
