What does one do once they're able to have such an incredible experience? Work on myself, sure, but what else? Try to attain that state again, and get continuously better at doing so? I remember for about 12 hours after having the experience, it felt like I could've easily slipped back into it at will, but at this point it's long gone and I'm not exactly sure how to get back to it. 
It just feels like nothing was the same after that moment, and I feel like I have something I need to do/work towards now that I've reached such an important realization. Not to downplay the significance or difficulty of it, but is 'working on myself' the only matter of business? I want more fantastical metaphysical experiences.

This is something I have been dealing with myself, OP. I feel like I have became relatively enlightened compared to what most people attain in a lifetime, and it has sometimes left me feeling rather confused as to what I am supposed to do now. 
One thing that's important to understand about enlightenment, or as you're putting it, remembering who you are, is that it is a state of being with many degrees. Being implies time. You will not be in a higher state all of the time, but a more enlightened person will experience higher states more of the time. Eventually, you must return to a baseline of some sort. Spiritual/mystical experience may make you're baseline higher than someone who has never experienced such a high. Unless you feel an ascetic life in a monastery is right for you, you still have to participate in regular civilization and life in one way or another. It can be hard to want to after such an experience, but remember, that beauty still awaits you in the end. While you're here, why not participate? Why not let yourself get absorbed in the action from time to time? Find a way to serve others. Learn about things that fascinate you. Balance it with your spiritual life; have a meditation schedule - a real spiritual practice. With enough consistency you will be able to induce fantastical metaphysical experiences more of the time.
Be thankful for them, learn from them, but do not become entirely fixated on them. It sounds like you had a pretty simple experience: you realized you are not your body. There is still a long way to go from there. It's not so complicated, so don't get too caught up in trying to figure it all out. The answer is love, and if you keep looking too hard you'll go blind.

Thank you for this. Everything you've said in this is important for me to remember moving forward. I love you, and have a good evening.
