* In ''{{Adventure Time with Finn and Jake}}'', the Ice King has one of these. Thankfully, his beard is inexplicably longer during that scene, protecting the audience from any... [[NightmareFuel unpleasantness]]...

* For reasons that are left unexplained, traveling into the underworld in the ''{{Sword of Truth}}'' series needs to be done naked. Richard, at least, is somewhat exasperated by this fact, at one point asking something to the tune of, "Look is this ''really'' necessary?" Other characters are either amused or [[FemaleGaze enjoying the opportunity]].
** While it's not required, according to Zedd, standing on a Wizard's Rock is a much better experience naked. He's doing so when he's first introduced, and later on offers to let a sorceress do it as well, though this one is at least 50% because he's a horny old man.

Frequently seen in sequences involving {{Journey to the Center of the Mind}} or soul-viewing as [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic symbolic]] of the "naked" truth and/or vulnerability. Also commonly implemented with a FetalPositionRebirth.

* This is seemingly the default in both ''[[TheWorldOfDarkness Werewolf]]'' games. When a werewolf physically enters the spirt world, they pretty much bring themselves and nothing else. This is another reason why [[MagicPants the Rite of Dedication]] as useful, as it allows a werewolf's clothes to be interpreted as part of their "spiritual identity."

* How a player could start off playing ''Dragon Age: Origins Awakening'' if they imported a character save from the previous game who's wearing DLC armor that doesn't transfer.

** Interestingly enough completely avoided in Advent Children. When Cloud projects to the Promised Land he and Aerith are both fully clothed and standing back to back. The shot also never goes above the mouth. All this emphasizes that Cloud is either unwilling or unable to actually look at Aerith when doing this.

* ''KamichamaKarin'' uses this for the {{Transformation Sequence}}s (natch), but only the StockFotage ones.

* "MaiOtome" has Arika meet her Mother this way, [[spoiler:After she is forced to destroy her Mother's body to depower the Valkyries]]

* Takes place in TenchiMuyo when Kagato is trying to pry the secret of Tsunami out of Ayeka's mind.

* In ''{{Den}}'', a PlanateryRomance comic by Richard Corben that ran in ''HeavyMetal'', the electronic gateway that transported the eponymous hero to the new world transformed him into a hairless, nude, muscular and prodigiously endowed adventurer.

* In the Maurice Sendak picture book, ''In the Night Kitchen'', the main character, in a dream, "fell through the dark, out of his clothes." Interestingly, everything is completely uncensored, causing what is in all other regards a fun, innocent children's book to regularly make "top banned book" lists.

* In {{Farscape}}, the Delvian telepathic experience of Unity is almost always depicted with the two characters involved being completely naked. The only exception is in "Season of Death" when Zhaan enters mostlydead!Aeryn's mind to bring her back to life and she's still strapped into her ejection seat.
* {{Andromeda}} also has at least one example, in "Star Crossed" when Rommie and Gabriel [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow interface]]. In the computer world, the avatars are naked. Then again, they are having computer sex. Rommie is always clothed when interfaced with Harper, who is also clothed.
* In one season 3 episode of {{BabylonFive}}, a stressed-out Susan Ivanova has a nightmare of walking into the Command & Control room in the nude, not realizing the fact until she's exposed herself to everyone in the room. Later, after waking up, the nightmare is compounded. She talks about having nightmares to John Sheridan, and he points out it could be worse: she could be dreaming of going to work naked.

* This occurs in ''Beneath a Steel Sky'', an old adventure game. When you go into cyberspace, guess what?

** The really offensive example are GundamSEED and GundamSeedDestiny, where naked people are shown unnessesary too often during emotional scenes. The classic UC timeline has some, but not so much.

* {{Andromeda}} also has at least one example, in "Star Crossed" when Rommie and Gabriel [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow interface]]. In the computer world, the avatars are naked.

'''Negi:''' I'm pretty sure you won't be cold.\\
'''Asuna:''' That's not the problem right now!\\

* In one of the Quests in ''[[TheElderScrolls Oblivion]]'', you have to wear a special amulet to enter someone's dream world. In keeping with this trope, all your items and equipment disappear when you enter, leaving your character in his/her underwear. [[{{Fridge Logic}} Yet somehow, the dreamer you're helping out is still wearing his robe.]]
** Not really. You can get into one of the drawers scattered around to get some clothes.

* ''{{Berserk}}'' does this a few times in dreams and flashbacks. One in particular shows a young Guts and his stepfather figure, who for some reason is sitting naked on his throne with a skeletal dog. SoYeah.

** Sort of carries over from the manga/to ''Brotherhood'', with [[spoiler:Alphonse's real body, left naked, ragged and restless in the endless white void of "The Truth" after the botched human transmutation at the start of the series. Edward even gets to briefly see him when he transmutes his way out from Gluttony's stomach and into Father's lair]].
