*Featured in ''MSPaintAdventures'':
** In ''ProblemSleuth'', there two ways to travel between the real world and the world of imagination: Either climbing through a window, or entering a fort and imagining really hard (booze helps with the latter).
** ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' features fenestrated walls. Normally they're used to observe faraway places, but smashing through the wall allows one to travel to the location. Andrew Hussie breaks through one of these walls to get from his house in RealLife to Doc Scratch's house in the trolls' universe. Later, [[spoiler:Jade and John use another of these walls to escape a universe that's being written out of existence]].

* There are several "techniques" of universe-crossing in ''{{Fringe}}'': Walter's portal, which causes both universes to begin collapsing; Leon Bell's technique by which he pulled Olivia into the AU (usually only works on hybrid {{Super Soldier}}s who are designed to survive the crossing; it worked on Olivia because of her Cortexiphan-enhanced physiology); and the natural way, which is achieved by groups of Cortexiphan Kids being guided by Walter (and of the three, is clearly the least dangerous, to dimensions and dimension-crossers, but not without its kinks). Besides crossing, peter is able to use the device created to only work with his genetics to bridge the to universes. This unlike the other devices such as Walter's portal device has no know negative side effects. Another less used method is the harmonic rods which create an equilateral triangle enveloping the subject on both sides, and have the rods vibrate at the same frequency, and two objects of approximately equal mass will exchange places in space-time. There are many ways to mess this up though, such as only placing the rods in one universe.

Added DiffLines:

* In the ''{{Paratime}}'' series by H. Beam Piper the means of traveling through timelines is a conveyor using the Ghaldron-Hesthor field-generator. Conveyors are fixed in place, which means that as they travel through timelines, they may end up inside nuclear reactors or other hazards or be caught in warfare (a common activity on at least one timeline in nearly every trip, Paratimers note). Weakening of the transposition field is a concern of Paratimers.
