1 is a version of Dream Land. 2 could be Dream Weaver.
1. All of reality is just a dream of a god-like being. Examples include the Godhead from The Elder Scrolls and the One Being from Mortal Kombat.
2. Related to the above, if a person from The Elder Scrolls series acknowledges the fact that he/she is just a part of a dream, they can achieve CHIM and become a god-like being or vanish from existence.
3. It's very important to the plot to have a character that is only mentioned and never appears in person. I'm not sure if this is just the ghost trope or just a subset of this trope.
4. A character that originated in spin-off media later becomes part of the main media. For example, Lugia from Pokémon was created for the second movie, but this Pokémon was liked by game developers, and they added Lugia to the second generation.
5. A character is hidden, and we are getting subtle hints of the existence of this character. I'm not sure if this is foreshadowing or a subset of it.
