{{sec-stub}}
"Dream Eaters" lasts two minutes and 58 seconds in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', while "Dream Eaters -Link Version-" lasts two minutes and 12 seconds in ''Kingdom Hearts III''. Regardless of the version, the track is mostly in C major.

The original version of "Dream Eaters" is led by a xylophone, guitar, brief strings, drums, and child "la" vocals. The first instance of the vocals is a solo, while the second instance uses more vocals. The version in ''Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ'' is mostly identical, though it lacks the "la" vocals.

"Dream Eaters -Link Version-" uses an energetic orchestral rearrangement with more emphasis on percussion. This arrangement, while staying in C major, transposes into F major midway through the track, providing a seamless transition back to the original C major.
<!--Version used in KHXBC, and later KHUX, has no vocal "la" part-->
