I'm gonna with the real-life logic approach here since it's what I was thinking about for the 5 or so minutes when you think he exploded with the bomb:

DC Comics would never have let Nolan kill off Batman. So to me that rules out the dream theory.

Spoilers:  DC let Superman die at the end of All Star Superman and they let they let Joker die at the end of Arkham City and Batman 1989.  I think that as long as he's alive in the comics, the other media aren't canon so anything goes.

Having only seen Nolan's work in Insomnia and Memento (my favorite movie), I had no idea he was a twist ending guy.  I never saw Inception.  I thought he lived.  Then, I thought he died.  I've been going both ways on the topic ever since.  Right now, I'm on the "He's dead" state of mind.  If you think he lived, he lived.  There's enough stuff sprinkled throughout the movie for it to have gone either way.  It's what makes the movie awesome.

All I have to say to this is: Memento is sooooo good!
