* Whatever happens to the Fourth Doctor and Romana when they're abducted by the Time Scoop and trapped in the Vortex in [[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors "The Five Doctors"]] at least overlaps with this trope. The Time Lords seem to be able to get a wobbly picture of wherever they are but there's no way to directly interact with them. When they return it's as if they had not left (at least in the [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion Special Edition]]), but it's not clear if events they experienced were reversed or if they had nothing happen to them, nor how involved Rassilon was in pressing their reset button.

A character has somehow been transferred to [[LayeredWorld another plane]] of existence. Not [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended to a higher one]], mind you. This is just an invisible world sitting "on top" of the one we live in. Beings trapped in it can observe our world and move around in it, but are unable to interact with anything or anyone. Their friends will not be able to see or hear them, and they will [[IntangibleMan pass straight through]] any solid objects they come across.
Some variations involve the character [[AstralProjection leaving their body behind in the physical world]], but others have them disappear from this world entirely. Generally speaking, this trope should only include living characters, since we have [[OurGhostsAreDifferent other tropes for ghosts and spirits]].
Other residents of the astral plane may include magical creatures, spirits, ghosts, EnergyBeings, or even just a whole crew of other humans who were trapped in it over the years. Science fiction variations are also possible, but are less likely to be already inhabited when a character enters one.
Subtrope of LayeredWorld. May overlap with PhantomZone, SpiritWorld and AstralProjection (often combined with PowerIncontinence or AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost). If the trapped character finds someone who ''can'' see the astral plane, expect them to ask "YouCanSeeMe"

* In ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'', Secret spent most of the series trapped between the world of the living and that of the dead as a result of [[spoiler:her evil brother sacrificing her as part of a ritual to gain powers. The final issue has her turned back into a normal girl.]]
* In ''ComicBook/ProjectSuperpowers'', Fighting Yank dies and becomes stuck on the astral plane after he agrees to take his ancestor's place in exchange for receiving enough power to save his friends from a deadly situation.

* As long as there are believers, the Guardians in Creator/DreamWorks' ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' are large and strong and able to influence events on Earth. However, to nonbelievers, the Guardians are invisible and immaterial, almost to the point of being nonexistent. Also, as their believer count dwindles, so does the Guardians' size and strength.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': Miguel, in a attempt to borrow a guitar from his idol during the Dia de Muertos, becomes invisible to the human world, but starts to see the dead, in skeleton forms, including members of his family.

* In ''Literature/TheSkinJackerTrilogy'', children who get lost on their way to the afterlife ([[spoiler:or who are in a coma]]) go to Everlost, which is the same as Earth, except invisible to living humans, and the only "solid" objects in it are places and objects that were greatly loved and/or left its mark on history. Certain children can interact with the living world by "possessing" living humans or "ripping" objects out of the living world into Everlost.
* ''Literature/SophiesWorld'' has a variation on this, in which [[spoiler: all fictional characters, including Sophie herself]] exist in a world on top of the "real" one, able to observe real people, but generally not being able to interact with them.
* This is indicated to be Sauron's ultimate fate at the end of ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''. Technically [[CompleteImmortality he cannot really die]] until Arda itself is unmade by the creator God, but his second defeat and the destruction of the One Ring has reduced him to a powerless spirit unable to build another body for himself, still wandering the world but unable to influence it in any way. Meanwhile, his former boss Morgoth is trapped in the VoidBetweenTheWorlds outside Arda.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** In "The Next Phase", due to a transporter malfunction, Geordi & Ro are phased out of sync with the rest of the universe. They can see everyone else but nobody can see them, so people think they're dead. Eventually, they manage to find a way to contact the rest of their crew members, who then manage to phase them back.
** In "Realm of Fear" Lt. Barclay thinks he's seeing things while being tranpsorted and thinks he has Transporter Psychosis, but he's actually seeing some people trapped in whatever they transport through when using the transporter. Barclay grabs one of them and hauls him back into reality, and then some security officers are sent in to rescue the rest.
* ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'': In "Vanishing Point", Hoshi Sato is terrified of using the first generation of transporters. When she does use it, her worst fears are realized when she slowly starts to vanish from existence. Eventually, she fades away, still being able to travel the ship but nobody around her being able to hear or see her. Eventually, she realizes that a group of aliens are somehow involved, [[spoiler:which all turns out to be [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] when she emerges from the transporter, [[AllJustADream the entire thing having been a nightmare]] she experienced in the split second before she rematerialized.]]
* ''Series/{{Sliders}}'' episode "Gillian of the Spirits". This happens to Quinn when the wormhole gets struck by lightning.
* ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' had more than one example, including an episode where Piper and Leo ended up on another plane thanks to a plot of Gideon's, and an episode where Piper was badly wounded by some demons and ended up on the astral plane, where she met Cole.
* ''Series/{{Stargate SG1}}''
** In one episode Daniel ends up on another plane thanks to a crystal skull that was also an alien teleport device. Only his grandfather, who had been exposed to the device before could see him. For a while he thought he'd died, before the truth came out.
** In another episode, Carter and Mitchell get stuck in another plane of existence and can only communicate with the rest of the world by tapping the keys on the device that trapped them there in the first place. They tried communicating with Daniel since he'd been in that situation before, only to be ignored by him.
* ''Series/SpaceCases'':
** In the episode "Nowhere Man", Harlan is accidentally blasted into another dimension, becoming incapable of interacting with the physical world or being seen by his teammates. His plight isn't discovered until Radu's superhuman hearing picks up his pleas for help. The other kids ultimate find a way to restore him.
** At the end of the first season, [[spoiler:Catalina is shunted off into another reality in an explosion]]. As a side-effect, [[spoiler:her friend Suzie, previously believed to be imaginary, ends up physically manifesting aboard the ''Christa'']].

* From the book 'The Devil' in ''VisualNovel/TheArcana'', the protagonist has their body used as a ritual to [[spoiler:summon Count Lucio from the dead]] and finds themselves trapped between the worlds of living and dead, able to see the other characters but not touch them, and capable of only the faintest possible interaction.

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Aang ([[MessianicArchetype being the Avatar and all]]) is more spiritually-attuned than most, and has had to travel to the Spirit World on several occasions. During at least one instance was Aang permanently trapped there with no knowledge of how to escape. Luckily for Aang, he's bailed out by [[{{Reincarnation}} his past life]], Avatar Roku.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' episode "As The Netherworld Turns", Iago and Abu are sent to the Netherworld by the Eye of Gazeem, an artifact they find in Jafar's old lab. They can't interact with anyone living and no one can see or hear them, and the only way they can communicate is through people's dreams.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': In "Sock Opera", Dipper, thanks to Bill Cipher performing a DemonicPossession on his body, is temporarily trapped as a ghost that can only interact with the rest of the world trough possessing a innanimate object.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': In "Beyond This Earthly Realm", Finn gets trapped in the astral plane after touching an ancient artifact, where all of the spirits roam. Much to his chagrin, the only one who can see him is the one person who can see into the supernatural realm, the Ice King.
* In the ''Franchise/TransformersAlignedUniverse'' opening two [[OurWormholesAreDifferent groundbridges/spacebridges]] within close proximity to each other will cause them to warp the space between them, sending anything between them into the 'Shadowzone'
** Characters in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' speculate that anything in the Shadowzone is moving at a higher frequency than the normal world, meaning that they phase through matter and any sound becomes so high-pitched that it's imperceptible, though electromagnetic signals are not noticeably affected. The only way out of the Shadowzone is to be between two groundbridges once more while inside the Shadowzone.
** This ends up being the way the heroes defeat [[EvilGenius Soundwave]] - since he is directly connected to the villains' spacebridge's systems, [[ThinkingUpPortals he can summon a portal anywhere he wants, that goes anywhere he wants, with great speed and accuracy]], and it's often that the heroes attack Soundwave and [[WeaponizedTeleportation find themselves stepping right into a spacebridge that beams them right off the battlefield or into a trap]]. So they feint an attack to get him to open his to defend his front, whereupon they open their own behind him, sending him straight to the Shadowzone.
** Not that this stops Soundwave forever - [[WesternAnimation/TransformersRobotsInDisguise2015 years later]], he's finally near a groundbridge when it is opened, and surprises everyone present by opening his own completely unannounced. While he is re-trapped at the end of the episode, he has proven that any activation of a groundbridge runs the risk of him escaping again.

A character has somehow been transferred to [[LayeredWorld another plane]] of existence. Not [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ascended to a higher one]], mind you. This is just an invisible world sitting "on top" of the one we live in. Beings trapped in it can observe our world and move around in it, but are unable to interact with anything or anyone. Their friends will not be able to see or hear them, and they will [[IntangibleMan pass straight through]] any solid objects they come across.
Some variations involve the character [[AstralProjection leaving their body behind in the physical world]], but others have them disappear from this world entirely. Generally speaking, this trope should only include living characters, since we have [[OurGhostsAreDifferent other tropes for ghosts and spirits]].
Other residents of the astral plane may include magical creatures, spirits, ghosts, EnergyBeings, or even just a whole crew of other humans who were trapped in it over the years. Science fiction variations are also possible, but are less likely to be already inhabited when a character enters one.
Subtrope of LayeredWorld. May overlap with PhantomZone, SpiritWorld and AstralProjection (often combined with PowerIncontinence or AnAstralProjectionNotAGhost). If the trapped character finds someone who ''can'' see the astral plane, expect them to ask "YouCanSeeMe"
