Sleeping Forest

The Sleeping Forest is a forest on the Northern continent in Final Fantasy VII. It is just located directly between the Bone Village and the Forgotten Capital. If the player does not dig up the Lunar Harp before entering the Forest, the first screen repeats infinitely.

The Sleeping Forest is first seen in a dream that Cloud has after he collapses at the Temple of the Ancients. Aerith somehow manages to talk to Cloud through this dream, telling him what her plans are. These are the final words that are exchanged between the two before Aerith's death.

In Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Cloud passes through the Sleeping Forest en route to the Forgotten Capital where he is visited by Aerith's spirit in a very similar manner to how she visited him in his dream. Shortly after this, he is ambushed by Kadaj's group, as well as the children that were under his control. In the ensuing chaos, Cloud takes on Loz, Yazoo, and Kadaj on his own, and is nearly defeated before he is saved at the last minute by Vincent Valentine.
