"[T]he simultaneity of different planes of reality touching one another... [is] part of the deeply felt idea that I had... Beyond that too I feel that no construction of the human mind, whether in imagination or the highest philosophy, can contain within its own ‘englobement’ all that there is... There is always something left over that demands a different or longer construction to ‘explain’ it... This is like a ‘play’, in which... there are noises that do not belong, chinks in the scenery... [Tolkien notes in particular the status of Tom Bombadil]"
Interestingly Tolkien mentioned different planes of reality too.
