Is a dimension actually just a universe?

Praise the Orc! - Chapter 226

Before long, a line appeared in the darkness. It was an indescribable color and was beating with a slow tempo. It was there. In the universe where all the stars died, the planets were destroyed and everything was frozen. That line alone shone brilliantly.

It connected the vast universe. It penetrated through the emptiness and hopelessness. The past and present were connected by that single line.

and

He wondered what this line was. In addition, the color. Why was it so radiant? The line went on and on. The vast universe, the dimension of Elder Lord and the dimension of Earth, they were all on this line.

Unknown universes and worlds he didn't know there penetrated by this line. The past and present stayed on this line. It headed towards a new place.

Crockta followed that line. Time and space moved backward. He reached a wall. The line passed over the wall. Crockta couldn't get a glimpse of it. It was a solid wall of unknown identity. He gazed into the hole where the line penetrated the wall.

But he couldn't see anything. He moved his eyes closer and frowned. Then the line beat faster again.

and

Her face distorted. The spell had already started. A runaway train couldn't be stopped. It was steadily moving to the reversal of entropy.

"Too late."

Tears flowed from her eyes. Why had she never seen it? Had she known a little earlier, she would've realized the truth that nothing in the world was in vain. This world would continue.

So on this novel that I've been reading, the MC's dimension is connected to another dimension. And on that other dimension, everything except a planet, a star, and their moon are alive, while everything else is frozen, and some God is trying to reverse their universe back to its starting point via "reverse entropy".

The thing is, they keep calling their dimension a universe instead of dimension.

So a dimension = universe?


tl;dr - Is a dimension actually a universe?
 
There are 4 things fiction often refers to when they say "dimension".

1. Another universe.

2. Another timeline.

3. A realm outside the main universe (Like a pocket dimension or whatnot. Doesn't always have to be universe sized or anywhere close.)

4. A spacial dimension, which is what Tier 1 is based upon. Such as the 3rd dimension, 4th dimension, 5th dimension, etc.

For each story it depends on the way they're using it or the context before being able to decide which the word is referring to.
 
Well it's a case by case basis, this sounds like their dimension is a universe, though that's just my thoughts.
