The Sleeping Worlds are the main setting of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. They are worlds that fell into darkness but were not revived following the defeat of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness for unknown reasons. As this created barriers not even the Heartless could penetrate, a new form of enemy emerged in the Sleeping Worlds, known as the Dream Eaters.

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 Keyholes of Sleep, and return the worlds to the Realm of Light, but they come into conflict with the Dream Eaters and a mysterious young man with ties to Master Xehanort.

Eventually, Sora and Riku manage to seal the seven Keyholes in the Sleeping Worlds, but thanks to a set-up by 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 back to the Realm of Light.
