Plot hole: Peter goes into Carl's mind to save Catherine. When he's in there he sees the tank with the water nymph. On the tank are strange symbols which provide the FBI with the clue needed to find the latest victim. Makes sense so far. But, go back to the scene just after the FBI have captured the comatose killer and are looking in his basement. The FBI are looking at the contraption that the killer uses to suspend himself over the victim. On the contraption is the same symbol seen later on the water nymph's tank. Why didn't the FBI follow up the symbol then?

Continuity: When Carl is washing plates, he has a pile of clean ones stacked on the counter. He places a third one down onto the pile but when we see the pile there's only two, then suddenly three, without him placing another one down. However when the plate he cleans falls and smashes, there's just two in the pile again.
Continuity: Just after Peter has entered Carl's mind for the first time, it then cuts to Julie who is trapped in the water tank. The sprinkler turns on and she gets up - her blue shirt tightly tucked into her skirt. It cuts and suddenly all of the shirt is hanging out. In these same two shots, the sleeves on the shirt alternate from normal to suddenly rolled all the way up her arms.
Continuity: When Julia is trying to figure a way out the cell, she starting feeling around the edges of the glass panels etc., and she then comes to the end and stands by the green bench which is at the side of the cell. Julia's black heels sit on the bench, but then when Julia notices the pipe and climbs up to attempt to pull it, in the overhead shot her black heels have vanished from the bench.
Visible crew/equipment: In one scene Julia is in the cell and the sprinkler turns on. It stops, then she goes to the glass panel and starts banging on it and yells "Let me the fuck out! Let me out!", and you can see the reflection of a cameraman with a camera trying to keep a low profile, as she runs across, banging and shouting this.
Continuity: In the scene where Catherine enters Carl's mind for the second time. When she follows the young Carl into the house, he is doing the dishes. The large plate in his hand does not have any designs on it, however, when they show him putting the plate down on the counter, the plate has a flowery design. The plate already on the counter (which he puts the other plate on) has a flowery design on it, but between these same shots, the design on the plate totally changes.
