If a character is shown in a [[Metaphysical Place]]
Frequently seen in sequences involving [[Journey to
[[Scenery Censor]] and [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] will often be implemented to prevent things from getting ''too'' explicit. Not to be confused with [["Not Wearing Pants" Dream]].
{{examples}}
* Pops up often in ''[[
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Seen in ''[[
▲* Pops up often in ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]]'', even remaining in the dub. Like in the [[Transformation Sequence|transformation sequences]], however, nothing explicit is observable. It is particularly relevant at the very end of the final episode of ''Stars''; Sailor Moon spends the last episode completely naked and with wings on her back.
* The scenes in Melfina's cyberspace-ish place in ''[[
▲* Seen in ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico (Manga)|Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' when Yukina falls unconscious, and for [[Fan Service|absolutely no reason]], we briefly see her naked and curled up in the [[Fetal Position Rebirth]] in her own mind.
* Played with in the last episode of ''[[
▲* The scenes in Melfina's cyberspace-ish place in ''[[Outlaw Star (Anime)|Outlaw Star]]'' are at least a partial case; the [[Intimate Healing]] scene with Gene probably clinches it.
▲* Played with in the last episode of ''[[Scrapped Princess (Literature)|Scrapped Princess]]'', where {{spoiler|Pacifica, just [[Back From the Dead|back from being dead]], coalesces naked in the arms of her (fully clothed) older brother. After an awkward moment, she punches him and gets out of his arms and onto whatever passes for the ground in that place, [[Accidental Pervert|loudly accusing him of being a pervert]].}}
▲* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (Anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''
** The Doma [[Filler]] saga had this a few times with the Pharaoh in the fetal position to hide his private parts. (That didn't stop 4Kids from cutting these scenes out.)
** In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* In the final stage of Goku's transformation to SS 3 in ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', we briefly go into his mind. Of course, the fetal position is used for... young Goku?
** There was one way before that on Planet Namek. During his fight with Freeza, Goku has a visualization of Vegeta... who is completely naked for some inexplicable reason. This comes off seeming ''really'' strange because both Bardock and King Vegeta also show up in it, but they are fully clothed.
** ''[[
* ''[[Digimon]]''
** In ''[[
** This was taken a step further in ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' where the nudity occurs in every single spirit evolution, complete with animations of their clothes appearing to be burned off. Not only that, but in the final form of Susanoomon, ''all five kids are shown standing around naked in a circle, holding hands.''
*** A few instances were edited, though. The first Susanoomon evolution included a shot of both Takuya and Kouji doing the "clothes burning" thing and their respective Digi-Spirits tossed around them. This short part of the sequence was removed from the dub, possibly due to the implied [[Ho Yay]] from the two... ''[[Double Entendre|fusing]]''.

** Note that strangely enough, this happens a lot to Shinji (and to the women in his fantasies) and a few times to Rei but not to Asuka, even when she gets [[Mind Rape
** We also have {{spoiler|Giant Naked Rei and Giant Naked Kaoru}} in [[The Movie]]. And ''lots'' of naked dead (?) people in the {{spoiler|conceptual LCL space from nowhere}}. Hey, at least Gendô was fully clothed!

** The last episode has Miaka and Tamahome hugging naked on the Astral Plane.
** {{spoiler|When Yui is absorbed into Seiryuu}} she is seen completely naked and [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|in a fetal position]].
** Also, in the 3rd OVA, Mayo and Miaka go to a [[Metaphysical Place]] of some sort to recite the summoning incantation to call Suzaku, and both are nude while doing so.

** The fact that in [[The Movie]], Wrath is {{spoiler|welcomed to the gate by a naked Izumi}} in a particularly [[Freud Was Right|Oedipal]] scene in this already Oedipal show was spoofed by a [[Fan Art]] in which {{spoiler|Envy is welcomed by a naked Hohenheim}} and exclaims, [[Squick|"Is this some kind of sick joke!?"]] Adding a link here would be welcomed.

** The first time Rosette "dives" into a soul, she's depicted as being in a naked "soul" form. Oddly enough, her soul is shown as clothed the next time she does it in the manga.
** Also, in one scene Chrono is shown in a nightmare as being naked in his true form, reaching out a hand as an equally-naked Aion beckons him closer.
** And then there's yet another dream, this time of Rosette's, where she's shown naked in Chrono's arms as he bends forward to sink his fangs into her neck to [[Deal

** Lately used when ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' goes Trans-Am.
** The really offensive example are ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' and ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', where naked people are shown unnecessary too often during emotional scenes. The classic UC timeline (one word: Newtypes) has some, but not so much.
** You can now include ''[[Gundam Unicorn]]'' in the list.

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''
** Takes place when Kagato is trying to pry the secret of Tsunami out of Ayeka's mind.
** As well, there are a few instances of this in the two ''Tenchi Muyo'' manga series, including a scene where a childhood friend of Tenchi's is revealed to be a spirit while her body is dying elsewhere and a scene where an old rival of Washu's invites Sasami to watch Washu in a contest. When they arrive, they're both naked, which takes poor Sasami by surprise.

== [[Comic Books]] ==▼
▲== Comic Books ==
▲* Yorrick's vision in ''[[Y the Last Man (Comic Book)|Y the Last Man]]: Safeword''.
* In ''[[Iron Man]]'', when Tony Stark is in his armor, sometimes they will draw a panel with Tony sitting in his underwear talking to a myriad of computer screens. This is taken to mean that he is deep in conversation with his armor's A.I., and letting the armor do the flying.
* In ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', when people use telepathy to [[Astral Projection|travel the astral plane]], they are just outlines of their bodies unless they actively think of making some clothes (usually armor).
** An issue of [[New Mutants]], in which Dani Moonstar and Professor X go into the astral plane together, adds a couple of details to this. First, the characters don't perceive themselves or one another as the ghostly outlines, but rather as normally-colored and textured versions of their physical bodies. Second, astral bodies are idealized versions of their physical bodies. Dani is shocked to see that the naked Xavier is a lot hotter than she expected, then notices that the same thing is true of herself. (And as Dani was pretty hot to begin with, Xavier must have been very happy.)
* Averted with [[Doctor Strange]] and other magicians, whose astral bodies are always fully clothed (unless they choose otherwise).
* [[Lampshaded]] and [[Justified]] in ''[[Witchblade (Comic Book)|Witchblade]]''. When Sara is on a [[Vision Quest]] to see the origin of the Witchblade, she looks down annoyed and asks where her clothes went. When she wakes up, she's ''still'' naked. The guy overseeing the vision explains that the Witchblade wrapped her in a cocoon during the vision.
* Prez experiences this in one of the last arcs of ''[[
* This happens to people who die in ''[[Chick Tracts]]''.
* He does keep his pants, but when Luke Skywalker has an intense fever dream in [[

* Used in the last ''[[Harry Potter (
* The title character of the British newspaper strip ''Garth'' would sometimes go on psychic journeys naked except for a very prominent set of briefs.▼
▲== Literature ==
▲* Used in the last ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' book, although Harry's first act after becoming conscious is getting some clothes on. Averted in [[Harry Potter (Film)|the film version]], in which he loses his jacket and glasses, but keeps the rest of his clothes.
* Loosely implied in ''[[Left Behind]]'', as clothes don't get raptured, although ''Revelations'' distributes some robes.
* In the Maurice Sendak picture book, ''In the Night Kitchen'', the main character, in a dream, "fell through the dark, out of his clothes." Interestingly, everything is completely uncensored, causing what is in all other regards a fun, innocent children's book to regularly make "top banned book" lists.
* For reasons that are left unexplained, traveling into the underworld in the ''[[Sword of Truth]]'' series needs to be done naked. Richard, at least, is somewhat exasperated by this fact, at one point asking something to the tune of, "Look is this ''really'' necessary?" Other characters are either [[Naked People Are Funny|amused]] or [[Female Gaze|enjoying the opportunity]].
* In ''[[
▲== Live Action TV ==
▲* In ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]'', the Delvian telepathic experience of Unity is almost always depicted with the two characters involved being completely naked. The only exception is in "Season of Death" when Zhaan enters mostlydead!Aeryn's mind to bring her back to life and she's still strapped into her ejection seat.
* ''[[Andromeda]]'' also has at least one example, in "Star Crossed" when Rommie and Gabriel [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?|interface]]. In the computer world, the avatars are naked. Then again, they are having computer sex. Rommie is always clothed when interfaced with Harper, who is also clothed.
* In one season 3 episode of ''[[Babylon
* ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' musical episode: Gabrielle is transported naked to Illusia (pune on illusion) and Joxer uses Illusia magic to make her a dress of flowers.
▲* The title character of the British newspaper strip ''Garth'' would sometimes go on psychic journeys naked except for a very prominent set of briefs.
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* This is seemingly the default in both [[White Wolf]] ''[[Werewolf: The Apocalypse
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In the Japanese version of ''[[
* This occurs in ''[[
* The ending of ''[[
* This trope can also apply to Sephiroth in the Promised Land in ''[[
** Interestingly enough completely avoided in ''[[Advent Children]]''. When Cloud projects to the Promised Land he and Aerith are both fully clothed and standing back to back. The shot also never goes above the mouth. All this emphasizes that Cloud is either unwilling or unable to actually look at Aerith when doing this.
* In one of the Quests in ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV
== [[Web Comics]] ==
▲== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Gene Catlow]]'' has this in the form of the Sight of the Soul, which shows everybody naked (though most of the characters get to keep their "fur coats"...), apparently [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|symbolizing]] the fact that it's impossible to lie or conceal the truth using that form of communication. Your intentions, personality and secrets are essentially "naked" there. It even shows machines without their casings.
* Heavily [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in ''[[Girly]]'': When Winter ends up in a place like this, she immediately wonders why she's naked and where her naughty bits went.
* [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-05-08 Nioi's visit to Ellen] in ''[[
* Happens fairly regularly in ''[[Dominic Deegan]]''.
* In ''[[Misfile]]'', the spiritual exchange between Kate and her dead sister (who was possessing her up to that point) has [http://www.misfile.com/?page=342 them both naked]. It was a genuinely touching moment of redemption on both sides, and all we could think of was "boob squish!" Sigh.
* [http://twokinds.comicgenesis.com/d/20050418.html These strips] near the climax of the "Ephemural" arc of ''[[
* In ''[[
* ''YU+ME: dream'' -- [https://web.archive.org/web/20150602074036/http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1001 "Stupid symbolic nudity!"]
* Played straight and subverted in ''[[The Dragon Doctors]]''; the spirit of Tanica, an assassin trapped in the form of a tree, is shown this way, but when we see many other spirits explicitly clothed, it becomes clear that Tanica's case simply shows off how vulnerable she feels.
* ''[[Something
* In ''[[Heartcore]]'', [[Horny Devils|Ame]] goes through this when {{spoiler|being [[Charm Person|dominated]] by her father.}}

** Same applies to Nina's [http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/you_need_to_project_them astral form] while using "[[Journey to the Center of the Mind|extrospection]]" spell. That being [[Genki Girl|Nina]], when instructed to concentrate on projecting some clothes, she only managed to create a [[Cat Eared Headband]].
* Happens when using spiritual energy in ''[[Concession (Webcomic)|Concession]]'', (except to Joel, who wears a black cloak {{spoiler|which is actually his sister Miranda}}). [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] goes a step further than normal for (anthropomorphic) dolphins -- their ''legs'' also disappear.▼
