*'''Gummi''': Pieces of Gummi known as "[[Star Shard]]s", or the [[Gummi Ship]]s built from them are able to travel the Sea of the Skies. Using Gummi Ships is much easier, as single Star Shards will cause random jumps if their handler isn't skilled in their use. | *'''Gummi''': Pieces of Gummi known as "[[Star Shard]]s", or the [[Gummi Ship]]s built from them are able to travel the Sea of the Skies.

*{{nihongo|'''Lanes between'''|異空の回廊| | *{{nihongo|'''Lanes between'''|異空の回廊|Isora no Kairou|lit. "Corridors of the Skies"}}:The Lanes Between are a series of "roads" between the worlds in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' that were unlocked by [[Master Eraqus]]. Ventus, Aqua, and Terra frequently use these paths to navigate the worlds. The presence of Darkness is very strong within them, forcing travelers to wear their [[Keyblade Armor]] as a safety precaution. To enter the Lanes, the Keyblade wielder raises his or her Keyblade to the sky, and creates a portal leading into the Lanes, appearing somewhat similar to the Dark Corridors. Upon opening the way, they usually call their ''[[Keyblade Glider]]'' and use it to enter. The Lanes resemble the Corridors of Darkness, but with a color scheme closely resembling the Aurora Borealis. | ||
*{{nihongo|'''[[Gate]]s'''|ゲート|Gēto}}: After the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'' the worlds have prepared new pathways which can be accessed though the Gates. | *{{nihongo|'''[[Gate]]s'''|ゲート|Gēto}}: After the events of ''Kingdom Hearts'' the worlds have prepared new pathways which can be accessed though the Gates. | ||

However, their direct contact with the darkness between worlds puts them at a great risk of being corrupted or engulfed by the darkness. | ||
*'''Teleportation''': Certain sorcerers, like [[Merlin]] and [[Maleficent]], are able to instantaneously transport themselves and others directly from world to world, apparently without passing through the lanes at all. | *'''Teleportation''': Certain sorcerers, like [[Merlin]] and [[Maleficent]], are able to instantaneously transport themselves and others directly from world to world, apparently without passing through the lanes at all. | ||

The {{nihongo|'''Sleeping Worlds'''|夢見る世界|Yumemiru Sekai}} are worlds submerged in sleep. They were created following the defeat of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, as a portion of the worlds that was attacked by the Heartless remain submerged in sleep. Because this created barriers not even the Heartless could penetrate, darkness took a new form in the Sleeping Worlds, known as the [[Dream Eater]]s. | The {{nihongo|'''Sleeping Worlds'''|夢見る世界|Yumemiru Sekai|lit.
