Knowing Loveraft, the answer is:

1) A dimension incomprehensible to the human mind
2) Go insane

Alright, I'm not sure everyone here knows the Lovecraft Mythos or at what depth, so I'll explain this first. The Dimensional Shambler is a ghoulish creature that can flit in from other dimensions and out again without effort. They are strong and generally vicious, known for abducting victims from a place and taking them...god knows where.

The Scenario!

A Dimensional Shambler has grabbed you and pulled you through to another dimension. WHERE ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO?
Well if it took me someplace where creatures like "Dimensional Shamblers" live probably not a whole hell of a lot. Realize I'm somewhere else. Cry for a minute about how shit always happens to me. Wander around terrified. Get killed. That should cover all of about 5 minutes.

If it took me anywhere I wanted to go then a world where women can't keep their hands off me sounds like a good destination.

*Flash forward to find out I'm on the planet of pig-noses from the twilight zone.* Damn you shambler! DAAAAAMN YOU!

Well... if you squint. No.

Oh how about a world where government is competent and people actually limit the power of corporations? And the individual is valued for their intelligence, which can be relied upon because people don't make snap judgments and act as an irrational mob? It doesn't exist?

Damn you shambler! DAAAAAMN YOU!
The worst part? I know the episode of which he speaks.

I hate Lovecraft. He was a racist prick, ontop of a horrible writer.

OT:I am in a world full of cookies and it is wonderful. I will now proceed to eat zed cookies until I 'esplode
Well, that was the time that he grew up in.

And he's a brilliant writer. :)
Please, don't pull the 'that was the time he grew up in.' I can show you a poem that he wrote that will probably make you sick. Even for the time he was an extreme racist, and those themes entered his books making them even harder to read, ontop of his crappy stories.

Hey, why does everyone have four fingers and yellow skin?

Oh. Well in that case, things are going to be just fine.
