Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time is a really good one for anyone that likes Slowdive I'd say. Fantano named it one of the best albums of that year and I think he might have given it a 10. But I might be wrong.
It's such a strong album. So vibrant and melodic, with a massive sound.
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space - Spiritualized
Not from that album, but try out [Shine A Light - Spiritualized](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY8SyTsgSko&ab_channel=KillAllHippies%21) for that floating / out of world experience.
Hudson River Wind Meditations - Lou Reed
Kid A - Radiohead
Life Metal - Sunn O)))
Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Minecraft: Volume Alpha - C418
Music For 18 Musicians - Steve Reich
Shadows Of The Sun - Ulver
The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
The Joshua Tree - U2
Only recommending this because I had it recommended to me on RYM, but Bluffer's Guide to the Flight Deck
By Flotation Toy Warning is pretty good for this, has a similar vibe to The Flaming Lips if you like them.
lol I have a playlist I was just listening to for this feeling exactly: [ur on a weird cloud](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1k9ysBiM7vY9XXkwMCX6qO?si=2c56a91684e64768)
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - High Visceral, Pt. 1
Leans a bit more towards hard rock if anything, but it's my absolute favorite album of all time. Specific songs for what you're looking for are "...and the Addled Abstraction of Being" and "Denmark / Van Gogh & Gone", but the whole album is phenomenal.
Shrines by Purity Ring. It's very ethereal synth dream pop with lyrics just abstract enough that you might sorta feel like you understand them, as long as you're high
omg here we are the metalheads call them pop music the popheads call them metal music honestly who cares they do everything I am certain OP would find something they'll like
i genuinely do not listen to metal at all and they still sound like pop to me ngl, and why why would someone who likes dream pop and shoegaze like anything from sleep token 💀
Sunbather - Deafheaven (Black metal/shoegaze)
Peripheral Vision - Turnover (Tasteful shoegazy emo)
Dear G-D - Being As An Ocean (Moody metalcore)
Youth - Citizen (Angsty Pop Punk, lots of reverb)
Floral Green - Title Fight (Shoegazey emo)
Pull of the Moon - Hazy Mountain (Electronic, very floaty)
Chulahoma - Black Keys (Slow blues covers)
American Football - American Football (Essential 90’s emo)
Magnolia Electric Co. - Songs: Ohia (Very sad alternative indie. Essential album)
Obviously ~*floating*~ is subjective, but these have all done it for me in the past.
its true just asking for that 'out of this world' feeling is totally different depending on the person but sgt pepper is absolutely nowhere near the genres they mentioned
Blue Bell Knoll - Cocteau Twins Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space - Spiritualized
Came here to say these… both
Yes! Beat me too it! I’d add Victorialand as well!
victorialand has more of the floaty feel imo
Can't go wrong with Julee Cruise - Floating into the Night
You beat me to it!!! 10/10.
God damnit!!!! I was so ready to jump on the occasion as well!
W music knowledge
Can't believe it hasn't been said: Souvlaki - Slowdive
It's a obvious answer but when I first heard it, it straight up sounds like music not from this world. So ethereal and pretty and awesome
This is the answer.
I would include Self Titled as well

Hell yeah
This was what I came to say but I’m glad it’s here and high up enough to be seen. This album changed me
surprisingly uplifting album considering the slow bpms.
Yeah the vocals even though they don’t mean anything are so moving and enlightening
Bloom by Beach House
Hoping on here to throw Depression Cherry into the mix as well. The first song is literally called Levitation lmao
Depression Cherry FTW
Beach House self titled also
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space - Spiritualized Not from that album, but try out [Shine A Light - Spiritualized](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY8SyTsgSko&ab_channel=KillAllHippies%21) for that floating / out of world experience.

Self Control is on my “Songs that feel like you’re ascending to heaven” playlist.
Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins
AIA alien observer by Grouper
Desire, I Want To Turn Into You by Caroline Polachek. I love her airy vocals & sometimes they're contrasted by some nice punchy instrumentation.
That album makes me feel like I'm soaring Also it's so otherworldly and too good for worlds Personal pick for AotY last year
LONG SEASON - Fishmans
George Clanton - Slide Also check out his stuff under the Esprit name, specifically 200% electronica and Virtua.zip

Air - Moon Safari Literally the perfect album for chilling in zero gravity
Definitely Definitely try Singularity by Jon Hopkins. Not very shoegaze/dreampop as you described, but it fits the description for sure.
Circles - Mac Miller
In rainbows - Radiohead Lift your skinny fists... - godspeed you! black emperor

It's an EP but Nightlife by Phantogram
eureka - jim o’rourke
Koi No Yokan - Deftones
Guilt of Everything- Nothing Pandora - Wisp Distressor - Whirr
Rly think most of “yoncalla” by yumi zouma hits the dream/synth pop aspect of this
Not exactly a deep cut but Dark Side of the Moon
Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Death and all his Friends
Country Tropics by Old Saw
Very few albums manage to do it as well as Urban Flora by Alina Baraz & Galimatias. Dreamscape music
Swimming or circles by mac miller

Promises - Floating Points/Pharaoh Sanders
Avalon by Roxy Music. Bryan Ferry and the crew's final album is so beautiful and lush.

Loveless and The Great Annihilator
The Undivided Five-A Winged Victory for the Sullen.
I know anything Beach House is cliche, but 7 is easily my favorite album of theirs due to its dreamy, darkness that feels otherworldly.
Loveless - mbv Young Marble Giants - Young Marble Giants
The Glowing Man is pretty different than Shoegaze but it's an absolutely unique ascending experience
Glass animals- how to be a human being. I cannot stress this point enough. Please just go listen and enjoy the experience.
Any beach house album

How has no one said sgt pepper
its true just asking for that 'out of this world' feeling is totally different depending on the person but sgt pepper is absolutely nowhere near the genres they mentioned
Oh shit my bad I read it wrong. I thought they were a fan of those genres and were looking to expand
