Dead Worlds are places where one spends one's afterlife. These allude to the 49 astral subplanes of The Monroe Institute's Focus Levels of 7 planes of 7 subplanes each. The first mention of a dead world was in "The New Frontier" by Jake who says one must transcend into Glob World. In The Vault, Finn is shown to have been reincarnated multiple times, suggesting that each incarnation of a person is sent to the corresponding Dead World.

Levels

9th Dead World

The 9th Dead World is mentioned in the episode "James Baxter the Horse." When an angry ghost mauls Finn and Jake, Jake thinks about their impending death. He says that, since a lot of dead people will be there, they might become separated. So as a means of identification, Jake tells him to listen for a rhythmic clapping sound he will perform.

37th Dead World

The 37th Dead World is a plane where souls go when they die. Jake's ghost went to the 37th Dead World when he was killed by the Wand of Disbursement on Mars. Death appears to inhabit this world and Abraham Lincoln was able to visit it at will. The 37th Dead World may be related to Land of the Dead, as Death is shown to dwell there in "Death in Bloom."

50th Dead World

S3e24 Happyafterlife

The 50th Dead World may be a location, theoretically similar to a heaven, mentioned one time in "Ghost Princess" when Ghost Princess beckons her love, Clarence, to ascend with her there.  However it may also be a figure of speech as there is no way to discern where they went.

This dead world is mentioned again in the episode "The Suitor" by Braco, who stated that he wanted to float up to it with Princess Bubblegum.
