Sounds very familiar, somewhere last week I was controlling these vibrations to make them as strong as possible (which most of the time leads into a LD for me) but then they became so strong that a vein popped in my left eye, leaving me partially blind in that eye!
Which luckily was a dream, but it was a rather scary experience.

As for where you went wrong, I would guess it was the part where you tried to move out of your body, maybe you were slowly waking up and this trying to move increased the process. I've had times in which I tried to visualize moving my body which would lead me into feeling my physical body, which would wake me up very quickly.
When I'm in a similar situation (the vibrations and floating objects stage) I usually just wait for a dream scene to slowly appear, for example my room, I would slowly see the ceiling appear. For me its really easy to just move into the dream once the scene is there.
