dark dimension

Lightless parallel world

A dark dimension is a parallel realm or alternate plane of existence characterized by malevolent forces, absence of light, or sinister energy.

The term appears primarily in fantasy, comics, and science fiction, where characters may be banished to or draw power from such places: The sorcerer opened a portal to the dark dimension.

In casual use, it can describe any threatening unknown space: My closet is basically a dark dimension where socks disappear.
