With the new scans that have been released, I think there are a couple of details that are worth noting in a new theory. The biggest basis for this theory is that both Pinnochio and Jimmeny Criket are seen with both Sora and Riku. Why does that matter? Because both those characters have already met Sora and Riku. There is one scan where Pinnochio is talking to Riku, but Riku looks absolutely ashamed of himself. I believe Riku is remembering how badly he treated Pinnochio in KH1. Pinnochio himself isn't the least bit phased by Riku in the scan. This leads me to believe that Pinnochio either doesn't remeber or hasn't expirianced the events in KH1. Well, if the worlds are supposed to be submerged in sleep, then why are there characters present that we already know aren't there? I eventually came to the conclusion that if worlds had hearts, theoreticaly they could have memories as well. Since sleep and dreams are directly connected to memories, the worlds they traverse could literally the memories of the worlds themselves. Or, at least, artificial recreations of those memories. Now, how this fits in with Neku... to be honest I'm not entirely sure. My best guess is that since he has the pin for mind reading, he could theoretically enter the mind/memories of a person/world and influence his/it's dreams. Since Neku already knows both who Sora is and what the Dream Eaters are in the trailer, I suppose Neku could be tasked with a mission to help Sora through his dreams or do something in the world for the Game. We already know that Neku had some sort of mission when he first met Sora because he had the timer on his hand. Now that I think about it, this is really two theories not one but oh well.
