* "Light Barrier" may be a reference to the "''ultraviolet'' light barrier" in Lovecraft's story "From Beyond," in which Crawford Tillinghast constructs a machine which can illuminate the sixth sense in the human mind. (In "From Beyond," however, this sixth sense is the ability to perceive ultraviolet, and things which fall in the ultraviolet spectrum are from another dimension. This translates into "that which comes from another dimension" being "that which controls the flow of time and space on Earth," as is proven in the story by the fact that air itself does not occupy space, but is instead filled completely with constantly writhing deep-marine like creatures.)
