I had the perfect chance to DEILD the other day. I woke up, didn't move or open my eyes, but I never entered a dream. So is visualizing necessary? I don't want to miss an opportunity like that again.

No visualizing is not necissary and not very effective if your not very good at it, tactile is much stronger. Though just staying still is mostly enough if you've got a good state going.
My successful DEILDs started just a few seconds after I woke up. You can feel when it starts. The couch beneath me just melted into a thick fluid and I fell through, did a flip and flew through some funny hallucinations. I opened my eyes and everything was the same as when I left the waking world. Amazing if you ask me :P.
Even if you don't DEILD instantly, if you have time, you might continue and try the normal WILD which might take longer, but it's still worth the effort.
When I tired DEILDing, I did feel strange sensations, like my whole body was bulging and then recessing, but that stopped after a while, and nothing else happened.
Maby you finished your REM for the cycle.

Not sure, i think you can
