* Near the end of the first volume of ''ComicBook/TheSandman'', dream controlling super villain John Dee tries to battle with [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Dream]] over control of the DreamLand. Dee stands a chance in this battle largely thanks to his use of the Ruby, an ArtifactOfPower[=/=]ArtifactOfDoom that Dream created long ago. In the middle of the fight Dee realizes that Dream had to put a portion of his life and power into the Ruby to create it, and furthermore the Ruby sucked more out of Dream when he attempted to reclaim it, so Dee decides to smash the Ruby, thinking that doing so would kill Dream, similar to how [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings destroying the One Ring effectively killed Sauron]]. When Dee finishes breaking the Ruby, Dream is gone and Dee stands alone in a white void, with nobody else around and nothing there as far as the eye can see... until suddenly Dream speaks, and we realize that the endless white void is simply the palm of Dream's hand. Turns out that rather than killing him, smashing the Ruby that held a big chunk of his power simply returned all that power and life force to him. Dee's [[OhCrap panicked reaction]] to this development is both very natural and understandable.

** 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 white, floorless nothingness 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.
