The {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Repose'''|眠りの部屋|Nemuri no Heya}} and the {{nihongo|'''Chamber of Waking'''|目覚めの部屋|Mezame no Heya}} are mysterious rooms that seem to hold some great importance to Xemnas. Whatever that purpose is remains unknown, but future titles should explain the origins of the chambers.

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==
In a recent trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', [[Ventus]] is seen sitting unconsciously in a chamber that is extremely similar to the the Chambers of Repose and Waking.
===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
==Chamber of Repose==
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''===
After the apprentices banished Ansem and became [[Nobody|Nobodies]], they constructed the Chamber of Repose within Radiant Garden's castle. [[Xemnas]] would frequently travel to the room, as if something within it reminded him of his forgotten past. In the scene in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', Xemnas entered Ansem's computer room, inserted a data disk into the machine, and typed in the password "''Another''", after which he typed in six more passwords: the original names of the six apprentices.

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 caused a passage to appear below the '''Heartless Manufactory''', which had a long stairway spiraling down to a long hall. Inside this hall were doors electronically locked and bound with chains. At the end of the hall was a room containing a throne for Xemnas to sit on, as well as the armor and [[Keyblade]] of a warrior named [[Aqua]]. Xemnas would speak to the armor, addressing it as a "''friend''".

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.
<!--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 Waking==
 
The Chamber of Waking is supposed to contain Xemnas's other "friend", who is suspected to be [[Ventus|Ven]]. This room is 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 he had disposed of the Organization's traitors, but failed to find such a room.
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}}
