It sounds like an Astral experience. Lots of telling bits here and there but I'll focus on your "standing" statement for now. Early on, when we achieve an OBE state, we often move and will ourselves as if we were in a body. And so, our consciousness forms something similar to a body around our experience, but it doesn't exactly navigate like our physical vehicle and so we may sense a lack of gravity, tension, or thickness so to speak. I recall my first encounter out, how I woke, moved from my body in a fluid motion, and then sprinted off the end of my bed, all the time thinking I had some sort of body. I jumped from the end of my bed and tried to go through the ceiling but came gently down to the ground. When I woke it occurred to me that I had been creating the sense off a body all along. I've seen my hands melt as many do, and then laughed realizing I had formed those very hands by expecting to see something.

Also realize that your perspective may be split, meaning, you experience two competing perspectives at once. You are out, but then you move for an exit technique because your conscious awareness flickers between your actual body and the body that's already out. This can be profoundly confusing at first, so much so you may not be sure what happened at all.

It's all thought sensitive, trust your heart. Even a hint that you achieved something can build for the next adventure.
