A portal in science
fiction and fantasy is a technological or magical doorway that connects two distant
locations separated by space-time. It usually consists of two or more gateways, with
an object entering one gateway leaving via the other instantaneously.
Portals
can link the character with other places or worlds like the Wood between the Worlds in his Chronicles of Narnia, or even
to different times or existences such as the past, or heaven/hell.
The
Rabbit Hole is seen as a specific form of this greater portal image, which
specifically refers to a metaphor for an entry
into the unknown, the disorientating or the mentally deranging. It has been
used by psychotropic drug users to describe the experience of hallucination
causes by its use.
