The '''Dream Sword''' is a weapon which appears in  ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]''. It appears within Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora's [[Dive to the Heart]], alongside the [[Dream Shield]] and [[Dream Rod]]. These three weapons represent the paths that Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora can take — the path of the warrior, the guardian, or the mystic. As the weapon of the warrior, the Dream Sword focuses on strength and avoids defense, and if Sora or Roxas choose it, they will learn their offensive abilities at lower levels. Additionally, Sora will eventually gain an extra Item Slot. Data-Sora will gain a [[Quick Blitz]] command if he chooses the Dream Sword, and a [[Cure]] command if he gives it up.

The Dream Sword is a weapon which appears in Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It appears within Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora's Dive to the Heart, alongside the Dream Shield and Dream Rod. These three weapons represent the paths that Sora, Roxas, and Data-Sora can take — the path of the warrior, the guardian, or the mystic. As the weapon of the warrior, the Dream Sword focuses on strength and avoids defense, and if Sora or Roxas choose it, they will learn their offensive abilities at lower levels. Additionally, Sora will eventually gain an extra Item Slot. Data-Sora will gain a Quick Blitz command if he chooses the Dream Sword, and a Cure command if he gives it up.

If Sora chooses the Dream Sword in Kingdom Hearts, he will use it as a weapon throughout his Dive to the Heart. Like the Dream Shield and Dream Rod it will disappear at the end of the dream, but unlike those weapons it cannot be re-obtained in the waking world. In contrast, if Roxas or Data-Sora chooses the Dream Sword in Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, it will immediately transform into their respective Kingdom Keys. Sora can wield this sword within Mission Mode in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Its ground combo begins with a basic hit with the sword, followed by a forward thrusting move, with the weapon pointed out.

A normal continuation of the combo will finish with a slide forward, then a slashing move almost identical to Zantetsuken.

The Dream Sword's aerial combo begins with a diagonal slash upward, followed by a sharp slash downward. It finishes with a vertical spinning attack, in which Sora spins several times vertically with his weapon brandished; a manner not unlike the Hurricane Blast.
