Haha! I wonder if your "candyland" and my "candy shop" are the same place. It often rains candy when I'm in that place. One time the candy turned into cartoon sports balls of all varieties. It was odd.
My place is distinctly indoors. Your "candyland" seems to imply a landscape. Is it more like an outdoor or indoor place. Just curious. I personally know two people who have independently talked about the candy shop to me and I think I've seen it mentioned in posts.
What I was referring to was the the Hyperspace lexicon definition of
Candyland: "The visual of a pristine polished "enhanced" open eyed reality."
And that have usually started with OEV's in my living room that have transformed into a hyperspace version of it self where everything is "same same but different". I have often had that experience as the first stop on my hyperspace journeys but many times I have gone directly to other "dimensions" as well.
But I have also experienced things similar to your candy shop where I have been in places where the feeling is very playful with a lot of joy and happiness, and it have felt like a playground for hyperspace kids that have contained things like toys and candy. And yes, that have been in a landscape type of setting.

It is very interesting indeed!
And it is actually starting to make sense for me now when I managed to do a major breakthrough where I went completely ego death, but with a profound sense of "I Am" and that "I" was the entire existence. I really felt that I was everything and everything was me, and it lasted for 2 hours the first time and 3 hours the second time I reached that state consciousness. (I.e. way beyond the normal timespan of a trip).
It was a truly non-dualistic experience of our reality (i.e. I was not in hyperspace) where I was merged into the "Eternal Here and Now" and the most fascinating part was that it was a wordless and thoughtless experience where my inner voice was completely silenced (since yeah, my inner voice is my ego and my ego was gone).
Among the things that I understood from those experiences was that the purpose of my life up to that point was to prepare myself to take the steps necessary for it to happen. And this have been the most important thing in my whole life and a turning point for sure.
So I strongly believe that the purpose of all my trips have been to prepare me to be able to truly let go of my illusionary self in the form of the ego. (But I was just lucky for a short period of time and I'm not anywhere close to that now).
Anyways, I planning to write a lengthy report where I put all pieces together and try explain my journey even if the real meaning can't be explained with words. It is something that have to be experienced.
Until then, good luck and have fun everyone!
This is a truly amazing world we are living in and the life is a part of the most ultimate experience we can undertake
