The {{Nihongo|'''Sleeping Worlds'''|夢見る世界|Yumemiru Sekai}} are the main setting of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. They are worlds that fell into [[darkness]] but were not fully revived following the defeat of [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] for unknown reasons. Their formation created barriers not even the [[Heartless]] could penetrate, thus a different type of entity known as [[Dream Eaters]] inhabit the Sleeping Worlds.

 

The nature of the Sleeping Worlds is complex, as time is not of any concern – the worlds are a "dream" of sorts that depict events that occurred before they were consumed. Residents of a world who were not present when it was consumed by darkness may be recreated within the Sleeping World as how it remembers them, as is the case with [[Mickey Mouse]] and [[Jiminy Cricket]].

As part of their [[Mark of Mastery exam]], [[Yen Sid]] sends [[Sora]] and [[Riku]] to the Sleeping Worlds to unlock the seven [[Sleeping Keyhole]]s, and return the worlds to the [[Realm of Light]] in order to obtain a power to defeat [[Xehanort]]. However, Xehanort foresaw such an event and arranged for his younger self to appear in the sleeping worlds. Eventually, Sora and Riku manage to seal the seven [[Keyhole]]s in the Sleeping Worlds, but thanks to a set-up by the [[real 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 to the Realm of Light.
