The {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Repose'''|眠りの部屋|Nemuri no Heya}} was a room in [[Hollow Bastion]] built by the apprentices of [[Ansem the Wise]]. It has a sister room called the {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Waking'''|目覚めの部屋|Mezame no Heya}}. It is a mysterious room that [[Xemnas]] was looking for in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' but it has never been shown and was only talked about in reference to the Chamber of Repose.

The '''Chamber of Repose''' and the '''Chamber of Waking''' are mysterious rooms that seem to hold some great importance to [[Xemnas]], due to their connections to his past. Xemnas often sits in the Chamber of Repose in order to regain memories of his past as [[Terra]] and [[Master Xehanort]], and seeks the Chamber of Waking in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''.
 
==Story==
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Following [[Ventus]] entering a coma-like state, [[Aqua]] transforms the [[Land of Departure]] into [[Castle Oblivion]]. The throne room of the Land of Departure becomes a chamber that looks very similar to the Chamber of Repose, only instead of Nobody sigils, the room is adorned with [[Terra's Mark]], and the room is noticeably brighter. There is a single, tall throne in the center, where Aqua lays the comatose Ventus.
 
===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===
[[File:To the Hidden Stage 02 KHIIFM.png|thumb|left|Aqua's armor in the Chamber of Repose.]]
After the apprentices banished [[Ansem the Wise]], but before they became [[Nobodies]], the apprentices created the Chamber of Repose within the [[Radiant Garden]]'s castle. Xemnas would frequently travel to the room, as if something within it reminded him of his forgotten past.
 
To enter the chamber, Xemnas would visit Ansem's computer room, insert a data disk into the machine, and type in the password "Another", after which he would type in six more passwords: the original names of the six apprentices.
 
This would cause a passage to appear below the [[Heartless Manufactory]], which has a long stairway spiraling down to a long hall. Inside this hall are doors electronically locked and bound with chains. At the end of the hall is a room containing a throne for Xemnas to sit on, as well as [[Aqua]]'s [[Stormfall]] and [[Keyblade Armor]]. Xemnas would speak to the armor, addressing it as a "friend".{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix}}
<!--correct for tenses -- the bulk of 0.2 is a flashback -- and for natural phrasing
Xemnas used this chamber to communicate with [[Aqua]] as [[Terra-Xehanort]] in the [[Realm of Darkness]] and learned she had hidden Ventus in the [[Chamber of Waking]]. As a result, he relentlessly sent [[Axel]] to Castle Oblivion to find the Chamber of Waking to no avail.


Since "his heart has ties to the darkness", Xemnas could feel her presence while his image is just an illusion created by Aqua's heart, thus establishing a communication link between both realms.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-}}-->
==Chamber of Repose==
After the apprentices banished Ansem and became [[Nobody|Nobodies]], [[Xemnas]] would travel to the room. In the scene in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Xemnas entered Ansem's computer room, entered a data disk into the machine, and entered the password "''Another''", after which he entered six more passwords: the original names of the six apprentices of Ansem the Wise.


Apparently, [[Xigbar]] often eavesdropped on the conversations, and told [[Zexion]] that he heard another voice once. Having been there since the beginning and knowing Terra has two close friends, he correctly speculated the Chamber of Waking would contain his other "friend".{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix}}
This caused a passage to appear below the '''Heartless Manufactory''', which had a long path spiraling down to a long hall with doors locked with electronic locks and bound with chains. At the end of the hall was a door. Inside was a single throne which Xemnas would sit on, as well as the armor of a [[Keyblade]] warrior named [[Aqua]], including the Keyblade. Xemnas would speak to the armor, addressing it as a "''friend''".

===''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''===
Apparently, [[Xigbar]] often eavesdropped on the conversations, and told [[Zexion]] that he heard another voice once. He also told Zexion he suspected that there was a link between the Chamber of Repose and [[Castle Oblivion]], where, allegedly, the Chamber of Waking is.
While [[Sora]] is reunited with his [[Dream Eater]] friends at [[Traverse Town]], Ventus smiles as he continues his sleep in the chamber.


==Other appearances==
==Chamber of Waking==
===''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''===
It is said that the Chamber of Waking may contain his other "friend" who is suspected to be [[Ven]]. This room is also said to be found in [[Castle Oblivion]]. Whether or not Xemnas ever found this room is unknown, although based on conversations between [[Saïx]] and [[Axel]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', it is unlikely that Xemnas has, since Axel was ordered to search for the room after [[Riku]] left the castle with [[Ansem the Wise|DiZ]] and [[King Mickey]], and [[Sora]] was put to sleep.
Though the chamber itself does not appear, in the opening movie of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'', [[Ventus]] is briefly seen sleeping in the Chamber of Waking.


===''A Fragmentary Passage''===
It is not known whether this is the room that Riku first found himself in at the beginning of his story in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]''.
Ventus is seen mysteriously vanishing from the chamber.
