Maybe only those created by Eru can see in both worlds. This would include the Ainu (in particular the Valar and Maiar) and the children of Illúvatar (Elves and Men) and possibly others. But the dwarves were made by Aulë, so maybe they did not have the full awareness of the Children.
An interesting thing would be Orcs. They were not fully made by Melkor (Morgoth) and were corrupted Children of Illúvatar. Does this mean they could see into both worlds? I would guess so, for example, to see the Nazgûl. Bu I don't have any copies of any of Tolkien's works on me, are there any instances i any texts? Does anyone have a quote?
Anway, didn't the barrow wights used to be kings of men? I'm sure I read that somewhere (maybe in the house of Tom Bombadil), but I have no copy of any of Tolkien's works on me so I can't prove this.
