A specific realm within the extraphysical dimensions—a world with its own geography, inhabitants, and laws, all non-physical. An extraphysical world might be what mystics call the astral plane, what religion calls heaven, what myth calls the underworld. It's not a metaphor; it's a real place, just not a physical one. Inhabitants of extraphysical worlds might include spirits, gods, ancestors, and other non-physical beings. Access might be possible through death, meditation, or altered states. The concept of an extraphysical world gives location to the non-physical—a somewhere for the souls, a geography for the spiritual.
Example: "She'd always felt that dreams were not just brain noise but glimpses of an extraphysical world—a realm she visited nightly, remembered fragments of, and returned to at death. The world felt real when she was there, more real sometimes than waking life. Maybe it was real, just differently real. She slept easier knowing she was going home."
