Previously, we started Aqua's portion of the story, getting her on her way from the Land of Departure. However, her first world, the Castle of Dreams, makes the most sense when we visit it in the order of Ventus-Terra-Aqua. So, I load from Ventus's most recent save after completing the Dwarf Woodlands.
Ventus starts where he left off at the Cottage Clearing in the Dwarf Woodlands. Before departing, he goes back through the Mountain Trail (time 0:39) to the Mine Entrance (time 1:02). At the command shop there, he picks up the Cure command (time 1:09). This becomes available for him after he completes Dwarf Woodlands. Advancing the Cure command is a definite priority.
After returning to the world map, he then lands at the Castle of Dreams (time 2:10). The lovely palace and the pumpkin carriage should be enough of a clue to indicate that this is the world of Cinderella. As he arrives, there is a scene with Cinderella and the frantic Jaq the mouse. He alerts Cinderella to the presence of a guest. Downstairs, they discover poor Ventus, who is now the size of a mouse! Fortunately, Cinderella and "Jaq-Jaq" are quite accommodating. Jaq will give Ven a little tour of the house.
After the scene, Ventus gains control inside the Mousehole (time 5:49). Atop a ledge just inside, there is a chest with a Potion (time 6:01).
In the first battle, Ventus reaches Level 3 and gains a Strength increase (time 6:35). Also, his installed Fire command reaches Level 2.
After climbing some platforms, Ven enters Cinderella's Room (time 7:26). Another scene occurs there with Cinderella, Ventus, and Jaq. When Lady Tremaine and her horrid daughters call Cinderella away for more toil and drudgery, Jaq enlists Ven's aid in fixing up Cinderella's dress. Jaq wants five items: a White Sash, White Lace, a White Button, Pink Fabric, and Pink Thread.
Afterwards, we gain control of Ventus in Cinderella's Room (time 9:48). The room itself is home to a few treasures, a save point, and a command shop. On the floor below the window, a large chest contains the Map for Castle of Dreams (time 9:57). Jaq nearby will provide some excellent advice on acquiring the items for the dress.
The red ball of yarn will be very helpful for collecting other items. Ventus can push it, strike it, and ride it.
On the northwest end table, there is a chest containing a Magic Recipe (time 10:57). On the northern mirror table, there is a Fireworks Sticker (time 11:26). This should be placed directly on the stage for maximum points. In the southeast, a chest on the end table next to the bed contains a Stun Edge (time 13:05).
When he is ready, Ventus heads through the Mousehole again (time 13:53). Downstairs, he heads through the hole into the disarrayed Wardrobe Room (time 14:04). In here, the red ball of yarn can be used to bowl over the Unversed with ease.
Underneath the northeast table, there is a chest containing a Blizzard (time 15:22).
On the floor just southwest of the northeast table, Ven finds the Pink Fabric (time 16:15). On the southeast sofa, he finds the White Lace (time 16:32).
On the southwest boxes, there is a chest containing a Fleeting Crystal (time 16:49).
In the northwest, there are some books atop some boxes (time 17:57). Atop the books, Ven finds the White Sash. He can use Sliding Dash to get from there to the northwest end table.
On the northwest end table, there is a chest containing a Balloon Letter (time 18:14). This is not a sticker but a consumable command that restores the D-Link Gauge.
Along the northern wall, there is another entry to the Mousehole (time 18:52). This leads to the northwestern section of the Mousehole.
Atop the northwestern platform, he pops open a chest for a Potion (time 19:03). The fork nearby will let him springboard up to a higher level.
While climbing, he can knock the matchbox through to the southern side (time 19:39). He can use this on the southern side to reach a spider web, where he can knock down a couple of cheese pieces to the floor below. The western part of the lower floor is home to Prize Pods, which can be struck repeatedly for prizes that can be used as ingredients.
In the southwest corner of the lower level, there is a concealed chest containing a Hungry Crystal (time 20:41).
As he fights some more, his Ragnarok command reaches Level 2 (time 20:58).
