One of the Harold Shea stories actually figures along these lines, except that Harold and his friend Reed Chalmers end up in the world that Quixote sees. For those who aren't aware of The Complete Compleat Enchanter series, it is a collection of stories written by L. Sprague de Camp and Fletcher Pratt in the 50s and 60s (and later by de Camp and Christopher Stasheff in the 90s). Harold Shea is a psychologist in Ohio who figures that psychotics are actually perceiving other universes, but they're only perceiving them partially, hence the damage to their minds. He figures out how to put oneself fully into the perception of another universe, and ends up in the Nine Worlds of Norse myth shortly before Ragnarok for his troubles. Later stories include adventures in Spenser's Faerie Queene, and other literary and mythic sagas. In each one, Shea and his travelling companions have to figure out the rules of the world and survive with their wits and their knowledge of the basic rules of magic. In the trip to Quixote's universe, Chalmers (who is a very analytical person) sees what Cervantes wrote about, while Shea (something of a romantic) sees Quixote's world as Quixote sees it. Very amusing tale. I highly recommend the stories.
