I was recommending U.B.I.K by Phillip K. Dick to someone and said it kind of reminded me of Inception. Made me wonder if anyone can think of any other stories like it.

Just any stories that jump out to you. UBIK made me think of it
well, one that popped into my head was a book in the Magic of Xanth "trilogy," by Piers Anthony. the book in question is Faun & Games, and if the title didn't clue you in, this is a world infested in puns, so you've been warned.
Basically the faun (think saytr, but not violent and rapacious) in question has to go to a moon orbiting the head of a sorceress, and then to another, and another, and another...(you get the idea) to find someone to replace a fellow faun and friend of his who was swallowed whole by an inescapable abyss to save his lost friends' tree.
Fair warning, the series is a bit on the risque side, though it steers clear of overt sex scenes, although the book has more than its fair share of titillating moments...
I've read some of his books and have a few Xanth books that I haven't read yet. I'll see if I have that one.
the early books are definitely more standard fantasy, though they inevitably take a turn for the tongue-in-cheek in later books. the auther didn't really want to do fantasy, but his publisher basically twisted his arm, lol
