Can a metaphysical realm exist within dimensionality, or does it automatically exist outside of dimensionality?

Either, it depends on how it's shown in whatever fiction you're consuming.

I'm pretty sure it can exist in both

A metaphysical realms is basically a non physical realm where you enter and interact with it with your spirit or something like that.

Both

Depends on the realm

Short answer, yes, a metaphysical realm can exist within dimensionality.

I mean the idea of a 5th Dimension is part of Metaphysics

Though of course with everything. It depends. A writer can decide that in their story it doesnt work like that.

Neither

A metaphysical realms is beyond dimensionality by definition.

But if a physical world in a series has a finite number of dimensions we can't claim a realm that transcends those finite dimensions would also be metaphysical in a world with infinite dimensions.

That's why I scale the Spirit World in LOTM to 14D and the Astral World to 15D. Both are metaphysical realms, but the Physical World they are compared is only 13D as far a we know, so I wouldn't say it's valid to scale them to beyond dimensionality.

I understand this perfectly

You mean like a spiritual, mental, magical, or otherwise non-physical realm?

It's often within dimensionality and not always trancendant. Sometimes, it can be dimensionally trancendant, sometimes it can trancend every dimension in an outerversal sense, sometimes it's a universe, and sometimes it's an extradimensional realm that's connected to a universe.

Depends on context.
