Currently, there are six known ways to travel between the worlds:
*'''[[Gummi]]''': Pieces of Gummi known as "[[Star Shard]]s", or the [[Gummi Ship]]s built from them, are able to travel the Ocean Between. Using Gummi Ships is much easier, as single Star Shards will cause random jumps if their handler isn't skilled in their use.

Ventus, Aqua, and Terra frequently use these paths to navigate the worlds. The presence of Darkness is very strong within them, forcing travelers to wear their [[Keyblade Armor]] as a safety precaution. To enter the Lanes, the Keyblade wielder raises his or her Keyblade to the sky, and creates a portal leading into the Lanes, appearing somewhat similar to the Dark Corridors. Upon opening the way, they usually call their "[[Keyblade Glider]]" and use it to enter. The Lanes resemble the Corridors of Darkness, but with a color scheme closely resembling the Aurora Borealis.

In the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' games, each '''Star''' is the illumination of one specific world. Should a star stop shining, that would mean that particular world has disappeared from existence, most likely from destruction by the Heartless.

In ''Kingdom Hearts'', many stars disappeared. In [[Mickey's Letter#First Letter|Mickey's first letter to Donald]], Mickey mentions the fact that the stars have been disappearing, one by one, and that he left to find the cause. When Donald and Goofy first arrived at Traverse Town, they discovered a star corresponding [[Destiny Islands]] fade out of existence. Some of them were restored after Sora and his friends stopped [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s plan to plunge the world into darkness, but others remained submerged in sleep.

The {{nihongo|'''Sleeping Worlds'''|夢見る世界|Yumemiru Sekai|lit. "Dreaming Worlds"}} are worlds submerged in sleep.

==Dive to the Heart==
{{main|Dive to the Heart}}
The '''Dive to the Heart''' is a location which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It is framed as a world within a dream, and its nature as the dreamer's heart is reinforced by the background music, the gameplay tutorial, and the strange way of speaking used by those within it (a manner also used by the remembered characters of ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories'').<!--the speaking bit is referring to the mysterious things that Memory-Aerith and the others say, though I guess we learn that's just Naminé. Not sure how to word this.--> However, the events which occur within it have a real effect on the waking world, and in two instances they are actually observed by outside forces.<ref>In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the Organization observes and comments upon Sora's battle with Roxas on the Station of Awakening. In ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', Data-Roxas appears before Data-Sora on the Station of Awakening.</ref> In terms of gameplay, the purpose of the Dive to the Heart is to serve as a tutorial level, where the player will learn the controls of the game, choose how their character will grow, and fight their first boss. The player is guided through the Dive to the Heart by an inaudible, unseen "voice", whose identity is eventually revealed to be that of King Mickey for Sora's dive<ref>''Kingdom Hearts Series Ultimania Alpha'', p. 087</ref>, and Sora for Ventus's.<!--probably should add to Mickey's page, and mention the final rest bit too--><!--http://kh-info-block.tumblr.com/tagged/KH1NIA-->
