* Hell's Gate in ''DarkerThanBlack'' is full of NotOfThisEarth weirdness, the geography constantly shifts, RealityIsOutToLunch, and, generally, there are ''very'' good reasons the scientists studying it have mostly abandoned manned missions in favor of sending in robots. As an added bonus, its appearance in the middle of [[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse Tokyo]] was accompanied by an AlienSky covering the entire Earth and people suddenly becoming superpowered [[LackOfEmpathy sociopaths]].
** Said "sending in robots" consists of sending in a robot with a camera and having a full room of people watch the video stream and write down everything they see, because even through the video, everyone sees something different.
* The [[spoiler:entire town of Kurôzu-cho]] in ''{{Uzumaki}}''
* Digimon 02 had the Dark Ocean, a place populated by something that is either an EldritchAbomination that can take the form of a Digimon and are suspiciously called the Digi-Deep Ones and serve a master that is suspiciously similar to Cthulhu, Digimons whose designs are heavily influnced by the CthulhuMythos (Named Dragomon in the card game but not in the show), or Cthulhu and his minions making a LawyerFriendlyCameo. It was stated that The Dark Ocean is a separate Dimention from the other two established dimensions.
* Heaven and Hell in ''{{Ah My Goddess}}'' both use and avert this concept. On the one hand, both are realms that exist in twelve-dimensions, far more than the normal humans of Earth can ever hope to perceive. However, due to their complete inability to perceive what they are not perceiving, the sheer alien quality of the two realms is completely lost on humans.
* ''The EndOfEvangelion'' gave us the Sea of LCL, "a place with no AT-Field, [[AssimilationPlot where individual forms do not exist]]; an ambiguous world where you cannot tell where you end and others begin; a world where you exist everywhere and yet you exist nowhere, [[MindScrew all at once]]". Its freaky nature is perfectly illustrated by the scene where Rei pulls out her hands out of Shinji's chest with absolutely no signs of injury on him[[hottip:* :though most viewers will be distracted by the fact that [[FetishFuel both of them are naked and she is sitting on top of him, straddling his waist during the entire dialogue]]... and their crotches appear to be physically merged with no sign of their... ehm, ''private parts'']]. It's not a DreamWorld in that the place only exists in the shared reality between Rei, Kaworu and Shinji.
** [[spoiler: The Sea of LCL is actually Primordial Earth after Rei had returned every living being in existence back to it's most basic form. All Souls are now one with Rei and/or Kaworu, the Mother and Father respectively of every living being on Earth. So in said Reality of Rei, Kaworu, and Shinji it was basically the Entire World at the moment. Or maybe it was all concepts of Reality, depending on your interpretation of what the bloody hell was going on.]]

* The Black Lodge from ''Twin Peaks''. A world where people speak backwards, midgets dance to jazz music and [[spoiler: cream corn is used as a form of currency. The lodge itself is really just a series of identical rooms with red curtains and a zig-zag patterned floor. Or it could be that it is just the same room repeated over and over.]]

** I believe you mean the dimension one of the apartment's refrigerator's open up into. [[TheNostalgiaCritic ZUUL MOTHAFUCKA ZUUL!]]

* [[RealityWarper Einstein's]] Realm in ''Farscape.'' Reachable only by wormhole, it acts as a meeting ground between the representative of the True Ancients and anyone knowledgable enough to be dangerous to them: it's basically an iceberg floating in an ocean of wormholes beneath a pitch-black sky. Due to Einstein's influence, physics tend to behave quite strangely here, and Crichton often ends up speaking to long-dead individuals from his past and tumbling into [[AlternateUniverse Unrealized Realities.]]

** Inverted in the ''Science of Discworld'' books, where the mundane physics of the Roundworld universe seem like this trope to the wizards, who are used to things running on narrativium rather than rules.

* The {{Faction Paradox}} series has the Eleven-Day Empire, a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome tract of space/time, shaped like XVIII century London]], [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs ritualistically separated from reality from eleven days that never existed]]. [[CaptainObvious It's a weird place]].

*[[DwarfFortress Dwarf Fortress]]:The Adamantine Spire.
