It felt like my body was ready to enter a dream state while I was still conscious. But, then I woke up because my wife had the light on and was reading a book. It was only 10:50 pm. I didn't experience this again after that. Was this some kind of WILD? Or something different. Is it even possible to drift into lucid dreams so early after going to bed?

Yes, it sounds like it was a beginning of WILD. It is possible to WILD early in the night, but for most people it is more difficult than in the early morning hours in conjunction with WBTB.
