Lancelot enters the veil.

Lancelot walks into the Spirit World to heal the broken Veil.

The Veil is the gap between this world an the next, the Spirit World. The Spirit World is inhabited by the Dorocha and other creatures of the Old Religion, like the Manticore (Love in the Time of Dragons) or the Fomorroh (A Servant of Two Masters). The Veil is guarded and kept by the Cailleach, goddess of death and winter.

On Samhain Eve, the Veil between the worlds is at its thinnest and the High Priestesses, back in the time of the Old Religion, would perform a blood-sacrifice to tear the Veil and release the Dorocha. To heal the Veil, another sacrifice had to be made (The Darkest Hour).

It's possible that the Veil between the worlds were somehow involved in Morgause's ritual to summon Ygraine's spirit from the Underworld. Morgause chanted a spell that allowed her to stop the time and Arthur was able to talk to his mother. The spell didn't hold long and the doorway (likely the Veil) was quickly closed, never to be opened again (probably only for Ygraine) (The Sins of the Father).
