Editing Sleeping Worlds

The {{Nihongo|'''Sleeping Worlds'''|夢見る世界|Yumemiru Sekai}} are the main setting of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. They are worlds that fell into [[darkness]] but were not fully revived following the defeat of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] for unknown reasons. Their formation created barriers not even the [[Heartless]] could penetrate, thus a different type of entity known as [[Dream Eaters]] inhabit the Sleeping Worlds.

The nature of the Sleeping Worlds is complex, as time is not of any concern – the worlds are a "dream" of sorts that depict events that occurred before they were consumed. Residents of a world who were not present when it was consumed by darkness may be recreated within the Sleeping World as how it remembers them, as is the case with [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Jiminy Cricket]]. [[Young Xehanort]] claimed [[The Grid]] couldn't be a Sleeping World because it was digital.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''''': '''Young Xehanort''': "You think this is realm of dreams, but there, you are mistaken. Data does not dream, cannot dream. This world is real."</ref> It is also possible to visit a world's dreams without the world itself existing in a sleeping state as seen with [[The World That Never Was]]. 

[[Traverse Town]] is the only world to stay asleep, despite having two [[Sleeping Keyhole]]s unlocked.<ref>'''''Sora''''': ''"I was hoping this place would still be here."''</ref>

==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
As part of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], [[Yen Sid]] sends [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] to the Sleeping Worlds to unlock the seven [[Sleeping Keyhole]]s, and return the worlds to the [[Realm of Light]] in order to obtain a power to defeat [[Xehanort]]. However, Xehanort foresaw such an event and arranged for his younger self to appear in the sleeping worlds. Eventually, Sora and Riku manage to seal the seven [[Keyhole]]s in the Sleeping Worlds, but thanks to a set-up by the [[real Organization XIII]], Sora ends up trapped in [[The World That Never Was]] and his [[heart]] is damaged during a fight with [[Xemnas]]. With help from Mickey, [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and [[Lea]], Riku manages to save Sora from becoming a new vessel for a fragment of Master Xehanort's heart, and they return safely to the Realm of Light.

After failing his Mark of Mastery exam, Sora once again enters the sleeping Traverse Town to visit his Dream Eater friends.
