Within a CENTIMETER of WILDing...please help

[N2MDJ]

Okay so I just got up from an unsuccessful but VERY satisfying WILD. I'll explain how it went and would really appreciate some comments on how close I was and what I should have done toward the end. Okay, so I went to bed (unfortunately w/o using the WBTB method), and I was in SP for about 45-50 mins without any hypnogogia or anything (I don't have good dream recall ATM) and then all of a sudden I felt myself "float" away and become completely severed from my body and felt as though I was inside my head and perhaps in the dream world or something. All I could hear was my breathing and it was really intense. My heart was racing. SO after about 1 minute of this exhilirating experience, I decided I would get up and see if I was in a dream (this was about 10 mins ago)...but I wasn't! I did RC's and it was no false awakening. But I know I was soooooo close!!! WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE and what are some tips for next time?! THANKS VERY MUCH for y'all's help I really appreciate it! I'M ON THE ROAD TO WILDING !!! HEHEH
