Some believe that you can bend space.take space as a flat sheetand bend it as an oscilloscope wave pattern and its believed if you flew through the middle you can cover further distances quicker,,but would time bend in accordance to space or is time fixed always the same. One of these things that pop into your head before falling asleep... lol

You need a wormhole to connect the two regions.
It's not as simple as thinking about it as a rubber sheet, as if you were to travel from 1 hump to the other in a straight line, you'd have to travel outside the 3D or 4D space-time altogether.
I think the theory in Star Trek is that Starships "bunch up" spacetime in front of it and thus skips along the top, so to speak.
In Star Wars, I believe its more akin to breaching space time and flying thru a 5th dimension called HyperSpace.
Doctor Who has the whole Tardis outside of the 4D spacetime, except for the "interface" which is the blue box. The interface is materialized and dematerialized at the point it needs to enter into 4D spacetime.
I like Babylon5 where there are distinct wormholes that are activated by technology between distinct points and ships have to stay on course thru the wormhole or they are lost forever.
