It's a sign you're going insane. Just kidding! This is very common. Google screeching static buzzing sound and lucid dreaming (or astral projection if you're more mystical) and you'll get many reports of this.
There are different theories about why this happens. Most basic is that you were gaining consciousness and experiencing hypnapompic imagery. You may also hear a rushing wind-like sound or buzzing, and feel like you're vibrating. It is definitely a sign you very close to entering a lucid dream. Do not fear these sensations or have an excited reaction (which you didn't); allow yourself to relax and consciously enter a dream, then the static noise should cease.
Mystical theories will tell you that this is what happens when your mind, spirit, whatever, is in the process of separating from the body (astral projection or out-of-body experience) and going into a "higher" plane of existence. That would explain the weird sensations you had about perceiving your body from the outside.
Also, the sensation of feeling heavy and/or not being able to move often will precede these experiences.
In many ways, your experience is a "textbook" case of what people experience. Congrats! I've experienced these things a number of times--the coolest was when I also heard a faint angelic choir-like singing off in the distance. I tend to think these things are more lucid dream/hypnapompic stuff than anything mystical, though.
