The {{nihongo|'''power of waking'''|眠りし心を解放する力|Nemurishi Kokoro wo Kaihō-suru Chikara|lit. "Power to free a sleeping heart"}} is an ability introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', and is a key plot element in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. It is described by [[Yen Sid]] as "the power to free a [[heart]] from its sleep".<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Yen Sid''': "In your Mark of Mastery exam, you were to unlock seven Sleeping Keyholes. By doing so, you would awaken those worlds from their prison of slumber, and also acquire the power to free a heart from its sleep."</ref>

"Power to free a sleeping heart"}} is an ability introduced in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and plays a key plot element in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', described by [[Yen Sid]] as "the power to free a [[heart]] from its sleep".<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''', '''Yen Sid''': "In your Mark of Mastery exam, you were to unlock seven Sleeping Keyholes. By doing so, you would awaken those worlds from their prison of slumber, and also acquire the power to free a heart from its sleep."</ref> It is also the only way to reach the [[Realm of Darkness]] outside of using a [[Corridor of Darkness]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''[[Glossary]]''': "The realm of darkness, however, exists in a space closed off from time. It is accessible only via dark corridors—pathways that open for agents of darkness, or when worlds become unstable—or by using the 'power of waking.'"</ref> However, there is a high price for abusing the power of waking.


Only [[Riku]] and [[King Mickey]] are known to currently possess the power of waking. [[Sora]] previously had the power, but his abuse of the power of waking to break the World's natural order caused him to lose it.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III''''', '''Chirithy''': "A forbidden act. Break a taboo of nature, and you'll end up paying an extraordinary price. / You'll lose your powers. You won't be able to use the power of waking."</ref>
Only [[Riku]], [[King Mickey]], and [[Sora]] are known to posses the power of waking.
 
==Abilities==
True to its name, the power of waking is able to awaken a sleeping heart.
 
The power of waking can also use hearts as an intermediary to travel to certain worlds. It can additionally be used to reach the [[Realm of Darkness]], and is one of few ways to do so outside of using a [[Corridor of Darkness]], or a world becoming unstable.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''[[Glossary]]''': "The realm of darkness, however, exists in a space closed off from time. It is accessible only via dark corridors—pathways that open for agents of darkness, or when worlds become unstable—or by using the 'power of waking.'"</ref>
 
===Unintended uses and consequences===
However, the power of waking has unintended uses - since the states of sleep and death are connected<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''''', '''Chirithy:''' "The edges of sleep and death touch, and one can't help the occasional crossover."</ref>, it is possible to use the power to restore recently-deceased hearts. Furthermore, the ability to use hearts to reach worlds can be reversed, instead using worlds to reach hearts.
 
Abusing the power of waking in these ways is a "nature taboo", and incurs a high price for the offender - their power of waking will be revoked, as well as some of their other abilities, and they will vanish from the world where they originate. As a result, the offender will be unable to return to their original world without outside assistance.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''''', '''Chirithy:''' "You'll lose your powers. You won't be able to use the power of waking. [...] You yourself... will vanish from this world. And without your powers, you can't return to the world you came from." </ref>
