First (doubt): it would be dark, like you could only see 1/2 of the screen in front of you, and it would be a bit blurry. You go into a small world that looks like a dusty town and see a few attackers. These guys look like you, but damages you on contact, and has loads of HP. You will be easily overpowered, and will resort to hiding from them to get out. There are crap like crates and small buildings to hide behind though.
Second (happiness): the first form slowly changes colours, from gray and black to sky blue. You start falling, the ground disappears as the world turns into a spherical structure. The bad guys will turn into civilians of a futuristic metropolis. All the buildings are perpendicular to the land, as will the civilians. You would have to do some jumping puzzles involving gravity, because it's smart and puzzling that way.
Third: (imagination): once you get to the core of that world, you get teleported to a portal that teleports you into another world. There is one gravity again. The world is black and white, except for you. You jump onto gigantic flowers, and eventually you will face a monster, a giant flying jellyfish. It's fast-moving with no hesitation, can attack with long-range poison sprays, and go close range to literally zap you. After you kill the extremely challenging boss, you enter another portal and get out.

Sex and guns...and candy.
Maybe sexy women made out of guns made out of candy
OT: I don't know giant flaming penises made of bread crumbs? I honestly don't know what it would look like...

Really, it would likely end up being a world of layers. On the surface, everything would be as an ocean, calm, yet intimidating. As you get into the ocean itself, you'd find a city set up as a cyberpunk Rapture with rivers of lava running throughout the city. As the city itself would appear bright and vibrant on the surface, the people would be treating itself with disdain as the so-called 'ruler' of the area would be imprisoning people in a sort of cybernetic prison in an attempt to 'reeducate' people into actually caring for one another.

In the prisons, each criminal would revisit the wrongs that they committed a hundred times over, each time increasing in intensity before they're finally released back into the world. When released, they start to treat people well, only to be treated like shit by new criminals. Eventually, the former criminal would become disheartened and revert back to how they were prior to the imprisonment.

As a strange twist in this area, the corporations that run the city would be paradoxically malevolent on the surface, oppressing the world around it by not feeding back into it, but supporting the reform and working to change it for the better from the bottom up.

Mine, like so many others, would be split.

Half would be a large library, filled from ceiling to floors with books of all description. All around, there would be people wearing headphones, bobbing their heads to music only they can hear as they read endlessly. Speaking to them would produce no response, and removing the headphones would show you that there is no music playing from them.

The other half would be a BDSM-dungeon-esque thing, with my avatar at the center. The area would be filled with people wearing black leather and carrying implements of torture and pleasure. Kneeling on a cushion in the center would be my persona, a girl with cat ears and a tail much like in the anime/manga Loveless. There would be a collar around her neck, with chains running from it to manacles on her wrists and ankles, and a man standing above her with no face. He strokes her hair, and she leans into it... then he slaps her, and she goes sprawling. Rinse and repeat.

Strange, I know. But the two identities that make up my whole are bookworm/music lover, and submissive/catgirl. The man with no face represents my need to be cared for, and the other darker desires.
