This just sort of hit me a little while ago.
I was thinking about the manner in which Yen Sid will have Sora and Riku enter the Realm of Sleep. Odds are it has something to do with... well, sleeping, but I imagine it's some sort of special sleep.
And as that came to mind, it just sort of dawned on me.
Xemnas sleeping in the Chamber of Repose. He was visiting the Realm of Sleep.
Still, that leaves a lot more questions than it does answers. Namely, where exactly he was going in the Realm of Sleep. Well, remember what Xigbar said. "With the Chamber of Repose comes the Chamber of Waking."
So, from that I gather that Xemnas was accessing the Chamber of Waking (and Ven) via the Realm of Sleep. How? Well, here's what we know about the Realm of Sleep:
(Not sure as to the accuracy of this translation, eg is it saying that the Princesses worlds were NOT submerged in darkness? Because they clearly were. Regardless...)
I don't think there's much doubt that Land of Departure would be one of those worlds submerged in sleep, even with Castle Oblivion still existing. So, he'd be able to go into the Realm of Sleep and visit Ven.
I still can't say how exactly the CoR connects to the CoW. maybe aqua's armor guides him there. idk. bonk you.
actually he was just sniffing the crotch of aqua's armor

The “World Submerged in Sleep” is a complex story, but there were worlds other than those that Sora restored in KH1, some that were not submerged in darkness. Like the worlds of the princesses and Dumbo’s, etc. In the end of KH1 it was established that some of those worlds were restored, but not all of them. Those that were neither in light nor in darkness, but those that were submerged in sleep.
