"Disengage the mind"
That is the opposite of what I was taught; I was asked to maintain the maximum possible awareness of what was going on in my mind and around me.
"Spacey"
That is congruent with my experience.
Allow time after a meditation session to have a cup of tea, experience the weather, or whatever. Spaceyness wears off after about ten minutes, and you'll be ready to get back to computer programming, arguing with colleagues, disciplining small children, or whatever it is that the spaceyness was getting in the way of.
