History Main / AnotherDimension

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' TV show and comics that inspired it the [[FiveManBand Five Girl Band]] are appointed as Guardians of the Veil (later [[spoiler:Guardians of the Infinite Dimensions in the show]] to police their Multiverse and prevent various bad guys and the occasional EldritchAbomination from messing things up. In this case "dimensions" seems to mean planes of existence instead of alternate universes as HumanAliens are rarely encountered. Most dimensions fit the fantasy archetype to some degree or another but one world in the comics was an almost literal case of AlienGeometries.

* WebOriginal/JennyEverywhere, the open-source subject of many webcomics, exists in ''all possible dimensions'' and can shift between them.

* ''Literature/TheReluctantKing'': There are at least twelve other Planes of Existence, the First being Earth, which provides the afterlife people on the world in the trilogy go to. All the rest seem to be inhabited by various demons, gods or spirits.

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' shows an alternate universe inhabitated by Monsters that use children's screems as energy source and travel to the human universe by using closet doors.

** In ''ComicBook/DemonSpawn'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is kidnapped and brought to the Innerverse, an alternate dimension created by her dark side which exists inside her mind.

* A Franchise/WonderWoman villain called Angle Man adopts a weapon called the Angler that allows him to manipulate dimensions, giving him [[{{Teleportation}} teleporting]], TimeTravel and travel of TheMultiverse.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E91LittleGirlLost Little Girl Lost]]", the six-year-old Tina Miller falls out of bed and into another dimension through a NegativeSpaceWedgie that formed in her bedroom wall.

* The ''Kirby'' series has a reoccurring location, the very literally named “Another Dimension”, debuting in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' in the form of various pockets of space Kirby can travel to, before going to the full dimension in the final stage. It has since reappeared in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' and various spin-offs. Its appearance varies by game but it is consistently an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield, and it is home to the Sphere Doomers, bird-like creatures who feast on energy.

* In the original SNES ''VideoGame/StarFox'', there is a secret level titled "Out Of This Dimension" that has to be seen to be believed.

* ComicBook/{{Nightshade}} travels through the Land of the Nightshades while teleporting, which may or may not be related to the Shadowlands from which most characters in the DCU with shadow based powers pull from.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* The works of Creator/SimonRGreen (''Nightside'', ''Secret Histories'', ''Ghost Finders''). In addition to the usual alternate-realities and bizarre CosmicHorror-worlds, his Greenverse includes the concept of "higher and lower" dimensions: higher, for ones that are more "real" than our own, and lower for ones that are less so. One lower dimension traversed in ''Secret Histories'' was dim-lit, crumbling, and denuded of all but the most primordial (albeit far from harmless) life forms.

* In ''Literature/LittleGirlLost'' young Tina Miller falls off the couch and manages to find herself in the fourth dimension. The family dog Mack goes in after her but has trouble getting to her. In the end her father Chris falls in himself and manages to grab a hold of both as all three get pulled back to safety.

* ''LightNovel/SoICantPlayH'': All three of the {{shinigami}} females come [[MagicalLand from Grimwald]], a plain of existence that lies between the human world and the afterlife.

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' / ''Series/{{Angel}}'':

** In the 2011 episode "The Curse of the Black Spot", [[spoiler:a spaceship from one dimension was lodged in a pirate ship in ours]].
** Previously, Adric came from Another Dimension called E-Space, which is also where the Doctor left Romana and K9 Mark II.

* ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' has the final stage, literally named "Another Dimension", which serves as the game's resident AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield.

* Two alternate dimensions appear in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', the Factory where the Smithy Gang came from, and Vanda, where Franchise/FinalFantasy-inspired BonusBoss Culex originates from. Mario and his friends ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Bowser]]) only visit the Factory, the battle against Culex takes place in a [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds rift between Vanda and the Mushroom World]].

* ''Literature/{{Once}}: On a plane described as "the spirit of nature", the ''[[OurFairiesAreDifferent faerfolkis]]'' exist in dimensions generally beyond human perception.

** Fluidic space, the area inhabited by Species 8472 ("Scorpion", Part I and II). It's an alternate dimension, only accessed through portals established in the region itself.
** In "Bride of Chaotica!", EnergyBeings from another dimension mistake holodeck supervillain Dr. Chaotica for a genuine threat and go to war with him. The "Fifth Dimension" (as Chaotica dubs it) is based on energy. As a result the aliens think the holoprogram is real, whereas Voyager and its crew don't show up on their sensors, making it impossible to convince the aliens to stop fighting.
