A dimension of eternal whiteness. A blank slate. It might represent eternity, nothingness itself, or it might be a VoidBetweenTheWorlds. Can also be a realm which exists only in the mind, or a pocket dimension.

A room which ''appears'' to be a Blank White Void but actually has white walls floor and ceiling is a WhiteVoidRoom. Compare FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue.

[[spoiler:The white void later turns out to be a simulation, a result of being teleported to another room in the facility and hooked up to a virtual reality machine.]] She grows to like the isolation, because her SplitPersonality starts integrating, until her teammates pull an UnwantedRescue.
* ''Comicbook/XMen'' has the White Hot Room, which is sort of outside the universe and mostly seems to exist so that various wielders of the Phoenix Force (past and present) can talk to each other.

* In ''Film/BruceAlmighty'' the [[MagicalNegro Supreme Being]] invites the protagonist into a white ''loft''.
* The Creator/VincenzoNatali film ''Film/{{Nothing}}'' is mostly set in a white void.
* The shower at the beginning of ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119809/ Nowhere]]'' is a white void room. The movie starts off with credits over a white screen and pans down, down, down to show the main character, named Dark, in a white void with gray steam. A shower head seemingly floating in space. The scene is shot from far away so that Dark looks dwarfed by the infinite whiteness on the screen. When his mother knocks on the bathroom door, the shower is seen for the cramped, normal utility that it is.
* In ''Film/{{Pi}}'', the protagonist finds himself in one of these. It's implied that he's [[NearDeathExperience standing on the border of life and death]] as he calmly starts to recite the universal number, which has previously been noted to possibly be God's true name. [[spoiler:He wakes up from this state, only to realize that he was probably hallucinating.]]

* Creator/WilliamSleator's SF novel, ''Literature/HouseOfStairs'' where the setting is just a big white void criss-crossed with stairs. And one toilet, and a pellet dispenser. And somewhere, presumably very far off, is an elevator that gets you out. That toilet is their only water supply (so they wash up in it too), and the only non-stairs element besides the machine. It constantly flushes, but still.
* Such a scene was included in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'' [[spoiler:Involving Harry meeting and speaking briefly with Dumbledore.]] It stops being a blank white room and becomes King's Cross Station fairly quickly, though. [[Film/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows The film version]] goes both ways, being a blank white version of King's Cross.
* Inverted in ''The Time Ships'', by Creator/StephenBaxter. The Time Traveler is imprisoned by Morlocks by means of a single shaft of light in a seemingly-infinite ''black'' room. He's psychologically unable to walk out of sight of the beam.
* Played straight in ''Literature/DrFranklinsIsland'' by Ann Halam. Semi, the main character, and Miranda, her friend, are able to communicate through radio when they are animals, but in a white-void-like space where they both appear in their human forms, where Miranda has a strange black bracelet on her leg, the same as the one she is wearing to stop her flying away as a bird. Semi dislikes the white space, saying that it feels like being dead.
* Once [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] [[spoiler:figures out who killed him]] in ''Ghost Story'', he is taken out of the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind between [[spoiler:Molly and Corpsetaker]], and ends up in one of these while he talks to [[spoiler:Archangel Uriel]].

* Used a few times in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', albeit they're not so much "rooms" as actual white voids:
** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration''. At the beginning of the episode "Tapestry", Picard apparently dies on Dr Crusher's operating table after being shot through the heart. He wakes up in a bright white void in which he can make out a white-robed figure who reaches out to him... [[spoiler:only for it to turn out to be Q, who informs Jean-Luc that he's dead, Q is God, and they're going to spend eternity together. Picard is not convinced.]]
** In the ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "The Visitor", a white void is used to represent the "subspace vacuole" that Captain Sisko is trapped in.
*** The realm of the Prophets looks like a white void before images of places and people start appearing.
** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''. T'Pol is shown meditating in a mental version of this to avoid distractions. Unfortunately she discovers her brief "[[InterspeciesRomance intimate relationship]]" with Trip Tucker has led to a [[MindlinkMates somewhat more permanent connection]] when he appears in there as well.
-->'''T'Pol:''' Why are you here?
-->'''Tucker:''' I was about to ask you the same thing. [[TalkingInYourDreams Is this a daydream?]]
-->'''T'Pol:''' I'm meditating. This is where I go in my mind.
-->'''Tucker:''' Well, I would've thought you'd pick a more interesting place. Like the beach, or one of those Fire Plains you showed me.
-->'''T'Pol:''' Please leave.
-->'''Tucker:''' Exactly where am I supposed to go?
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** The show featured an early example in "The Mind Robber" serial, as the Doctor and his companions find themselves trapped in the land of Fiction. This being ''Doctor Who'', you actually ''could'' see the edges of the walls, but the cast never did...
** "Warrior's Gate" is set almost entirely in one of these, to eerie effect.
** Apparently, these were a fixture of Terry Nation's early scripts.
** In "Journey to the Centre of the [=TARDIS=]", [[spoiler:the heart of the [=TARDIS=]]] is one of these.
* ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'': The show is set in a white void filled with miniature playsets, where toys come to life.

** Played straight when The White talk to you when the Expanse is first opened.
* In ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable'', you can go through a window and outside the map into one of these. [[DevelopersForesight No, this isn't a glitch; there's even a secret ending there.]]
* In ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'', when [[spoiler:Sammer's Kingdom is destroyed, the door that led there now leads to a vast, empty landscape.]]
* [[BigBad Ganondorf's]] [[FateWorseThanDeath ultimate fate]] at the end of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' is to [[SealedEvilInACan be sealed away]] in AnotherDimension which is depicted as a white, formless void where [[AndIMustScream he can do nothing but spew vile invectives at the heroes.]]
* ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' uses one as its HubLevel, with small previews of each of the nine levels being used as their entrances. Used properly in the game's epilogue, where [[spoiler:both Dr. Eggman and his past self from 20 years ago are both stuck in a true white void.]]
* ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath''. In the final phase of the [[spoiler:Chakratarvin the Creator]] boss fight the boss itself turns an entire plane of existence into this just by his raw power alone. It looks a lot like The Creator's room from VideoGame/DotHackGU above. Helps that it's made by [[Creator/CyberConnect2 The Same Company]], and is likely a ShoutOut.

* And, of course, [[http://angryflower.com/emptyw.gif Bob the Angry Flower]].
* ''WebComic/BlankIt'' takes place in one of these.
* Richard of ''WebComic/LookingForGroup'' was banished into a featureless white void while battling the sisters. He dubbed it the "Plane of Suck".
* ''WebComic/{{Unsounded}}'' has an interesting meta-example: throughout the comic, the web page's background and decorations change to match the comic image. So when Sette falls into a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds bizarre parallel dimension]], the page goes [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/oww.html totally black]] (to the extent that Sette [[MediumAwareness tries to fiddle with the page forward/back buttons]] because nothing else is visible) and a bit later, [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/ch07_30.html completely white.]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Collar 6}}'', a character in the subspace trance sees this. Several characters can enter the same 'space' if they are also in subspace and have a strong bond. The last stage of the World Revolutionizer puts Laura and Michael Kappel into a similar place -- where Sixx joins them, just in time to save the day.
* There have been several cases in ''Webcomic/LsEmpire'' where the characters were in a featureless white void: when they were in a brand new dimension, one of the authors [[PocketDimension left pocket]], and the VoidBetweenTheWorlds. They comment on this.
-->'''Void''': So this is the new dimension huh? Where's the color?
-->'''Mr L''': Uh, Void. I think you mean, where's the EVERYTHING?
* Roxy describes the power of the void this way in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''
* ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'' is set in one of these. Then the characters create land from the corpse of a dead giant and eventually build a town there.

* ''WebAnimation/DaAmazinOTAdvenchr'':
** The series takes place in a white landscape.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in Appisote 18, where the series [[ArtEvolution gains a background]] [[spoiler:until Lite kills himself at the end of the Appisote to stop the “evolving”]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', SorcerousOverlord King Sombra created a PocketDimension version of this as part of his complex security system. And the only way out is by climbing a vast, EvilTowerOfOminousness-sized staircase.
* In the "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsMagicalMovieNight Mirror Magic]]" short for ''Franchise/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', the Humane Seven end up trapped in one of these [[spoiler:thanks to BigBad Juniper Montage using a mirror with dark magic]]. The room inside the mirror starts to break apart as the mirror takes more damage in the outside world.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "SB-129", Squidward was on a TimeMachine that went haywire and ended up in one of these.
** [[TheDitz Patrick's]] dreamscape turns out to be one of these with just him on a coin-operated kiddie ride.
* This is what ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'' is without any chalk in it. Minus the floor. It's literally a bottomless abyss.
* According to a ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' cutaway in season 3 episode ''The Thin White Line,'' Purgatory is this. It doesn't have a floor either; you're just suspended in the void.
** In the Season 8 episode, ''Road to the Multiverse,'' Brian and Stewie visit an alternate universe that is this, with just them and "Compliment Guy," who stands so far away that he's almost a dot. He is the only inhabitant of his universe and his sole purpose is to yell compliments from a distance. Brian and Stewie then leave that universe and back to their own universe, in front of their house. However, it turns out that they are only standing in front of a large ''picture'' of their house, and two workers come along and carry the picture away, revealing that they are simply in yet another White Void Room. Stewie tells Brian that they are in The Universe of Misleading Portraiture. It has no true specific locations, only portraits that represent the locations. But then they see Compliment Guy in the distance of the void... but then it turns out that he and the void are simply yet another Misleading Portraiture, which gets carried away by two workers, revealing another white void room, but with a horizon where a gray wall meets a white floor.
*** In the season 9 episode, ''The Big Bang Theory,'' Stewie and Brian end up in a nothingness that resembles a White Void Room (again of the no floor variety, where they float around, like in Thin White Line) when they go back in time before the big bang. They demonstrate the versatility of the nothingness when Stewie snaps his fingers to alter the physics, and creates a musical staff with their two heads taking place of the musical notes, where the two heads sing the Carmichael / Loesser song "Heart and Soul."
* In the ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' movie, Frankie is held prisoner by an imaginary friend who controls a pretend world in a toy box. (Actually, she's more of the first person he's seen in a very long time and so he gets very excited. She genuinely enjoys the experience but she's not allowed to leave his world.) When Mr. Herriman tries to take her back to Foster's, the friend in control of the world gets very angry. As he chases them he destroys the world and it becomes one of these, albeit with debris and landmarks still around.
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' has the episode "The Void."
* A "WhatIf" episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' ends with Fry destroying the universe, yet he and a few others survive, suspended in a white featureless void.
--> '''Stephen Hawking:''' Great. The entire universe was destroyed.
--> '''Fry:''' Destroyed? Then where are we now?
--> '''Al Gore:''' I don't know. But I can darn well tell you where we're not: The universe.
--> '''Nichelle Nichols''': ''[Groaning]'' Eternity with nerds. It's the Pasadena ''Star Trek'' convention all over again.
--> '''Gary Gygax''': Anyone wanna play ''Dungeons & Dragons'' for the next quadrillion years?
* ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' features one of these in-between episodes. Uncle Grandpa and his group seem to walk around it just fine, but one who comes in unprepared, say, [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse the Crystal Gems]], can easily get lost.
