Can someone formulate a clear description of the ending of Limbo?

Question

I had seen the ending of Limbo, but at the time was distracted so I didn't catch the subtlety.

I just watched it again here.

I have some ideas about what the ending implies, but wanted to know if anyone could formulate a clear description of "What just happened?"

Answer

I don't think there is an agreed upon meaning, but an interesting article discussing several theories can be found here.

Edit with summary as per @tzenes request:

The main theories the article mentions are as follows

• It is simply a happy ending, and the boy is reunited with his sister
• They are both dead and needed to meet up before entering the afterlife
• They are both alive, but are trapped and doomed to die a slow death of starvation.
• It was a dream and he woke up and found her alive
• Only the boy is dead, and the sister is surprised to discover he is dead
