Brief Answer:
probably an out of body experience,I suggest you not to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
My name is dr.Dorina Gurabardhi.
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion your symptoms are related to an out-of-body experience.
An out-of-body experience is the perception of floating outside your body.
It is an experience that can happen to everyone especially after a period of stress,dehydration,brain trauma.
I suggest you not to worry about it,it is as normal as it can be.
If it happens again you should consult the neurologist for further examinations.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have any other question Ill be glad to help.
Regards,
