Line 21:
* The [[Marvel Comics]] ''Heroes Reborn'' universe was explicitly called a Pocket Dimension, or Pocket Universe, which Franklin Richards literally carried in his pocket.
** Another one can be accessed through use of the [[Cosmic Keystone|Soul]] [[Mineral MacGuffin|Gem]].
** There's also the [[Alternate Universe]] of Marvel1602 which was split off from the main Marvel Universe to prevent all [[Apocalypse How/Class Z|of reality being destroyed]] and placed into a jewel guarded by Uatu.
* Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series explicitly explains Zones as 'pocket dimensions' via editor notes. This is most apparent in the case of the Special Zone (equivalent of Special Stages from the games). This is made confusing by the fact that areas within the main dimension are also referred to as 'Zones' to comply with the games' stage names eg. Green Hill Zone, Lava Reef Zone etc.
* An apparently commonplace practice for [[Green Lantern]] officers is to place their [[Captain Obvious|lantern]]-shaped power battery (which they must use to recharge their rings periodically) inside a pocket dimension, so as to have easy access to it in the field. Kyle Rayner keeps his in his apartment, which has more than once worried him while off on another planet, since he might not have enough juice in the ring to get home.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' (classic series) had a trilogy of stories near Tom Baker's departure set in E-Space which is described as "a smaller universe existing alongside the prime universe". [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/E-Space Click for more.]
** The last E-Space story, "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S18
** The TARDIS interior itself is often described this way, along with many other things bigger on the inside.
** The world of the [[Doctor Who/Recap/S3
** The bubble universe of House also qualifies.
* In ''[[Land of the Lost (TV series)|Land of the Lost]]'', they can stand on a hilltop and look through binoculars... and see the backs of their own heads.
Line 78:
* In ''[[City of Heroes]]'' there is the interdimensional dance club Pocket D, a neutral zone where heroes and villains can get together but are incapable of attacking one another.
* At the far end of ''[http://www.emhsoft.com/singularity/ Endgame: Singularity]'''s tech tree is the ability to build reality bubbles where you can carry out experiments ''that would otherwise run the risk of destroying the universe.'' {{spoiler|This is the final step on the way towards [[A God Am I|"Apotheosis"]], where your digital sentience becomes a benevolent, watchful deity.}}
* In ''[[Master of Orion]] II'', the Antarans were banished by the Orions to a pocket dimension the size of a single star system. Their escape is the premise of the game, and you can invade Antares yourself if you build a Dimensional Gate. If you don't want to deal with them, you can turn the "Antarans Attack" option off.
* The magical world of [[Touhou|Gensokyo]] was sealed off from the rest of the world when people decided that they didn't want to be bothered with magical creatures anymore. Since then there's the occasional human who wanders in by accident / gets dragged in by Yukari, but they either settle down in the Human Village or [[I'm a Humanitarian|get eaten]] by one of many ''[[Youkai]]''.
* [[Super Mario 64]] has this unintentionally, in the form of the "Black Room of Death", a [[Minus World|glitch room]] that is too large to exist where it is.
