* The dimension outside "angled space" (the 3-dimensional universe) in [[H.P. Lovecraft (Creator)|HP Lovecraft]]'s ''Dreams in the Witch House'' fits this. It's a black space filled with portals, and living beings passing through it appear as strange shapes. |

* The "Unseen world" (or "wraith-world") in ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' which the Nazgul inhabited, and which exists along with the Seen world; in it, things in the "Seen" world are typically perceived as dim and shadowy, but other things can seem plain which are hidden to the "Seen" world. For example, on Weathertop Frodo puts on the Ring, he vanishes from the Seen world, but can see into the Wraith world (being "half in the wraith-world" himself), and he sees the Nazgul as they appear in the Wraith-world, i.e. as their normal human forms (which is also how the Nazgul appear to each other, despite being invisible in the Seen world). Likewise, Frodo is drawn gradually further into the wraith-world after being stabbed by the morgul-knife. Glorfindel, meanwhile, lives in both the Seen and Unseen worlds at the same time, since he has dwelt in the Blessed Realm; but he appears as a "shining figure" in the Wraith-world. (In the movie, however, Frodo is apparently ''entirely'' in the wraith-world whenever he puts on the Ring, while the Nazgul seem as glowing distorted figures rather than plain men; meanwhile Arwen becomes the "shining figure" despite having never dwelled in the Blessed Realm). |

* In ''[[Gobliiins|Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon]]'' there are two single-screen "[[Dream Land|dream]]" levels like this. Not that the rest of the game makes much sense, mind you -- this series ''is'' a [[Widget Series|Weird Thing from France]] -- but these two locations are deliberately bright and bizzare. Oh, and the way to get to them? [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs|Eating mushrooms. Both times.]] You can't get a more literal example of this. |
