That it, is it? Interesting. I've experienced that on a few occasions, along with a whole host of other "classic" "spiritual" experiences. It was also not related to OBE, especially.

It's quite an experience, for sure, but... Honestly, the farther one travels, the less one knows. I don't personally think experiences, even very interesting ones, are an indicator of anything other than having shared in a universal (if rare) human experience of greater consciousness. (Note: "Think". I don't actually claim to KNOW. It's just my perception, and that's subject to change, or at least, to the illusion of it.)

But, getting back to the original question, it still looks to me like it's a matter of experiencing it, rather than "visiting" it. You could also say you "visit" sleep, of course, but "go to sleep" is a metaphor. "Sleep" isn't a place you can go in a literal sense, but only a poetic one. Then again, metaphors are sometimes a lot more powerful than literal interpretations, so... Who knows?
