Re: When you close your eyes, what do you "see"?

When I read, something else pretty cool and weird happens. I've never been able to understand it, but as I read, the scenes come alive in my mind and I can see what is going on in the story as I read it. What I don't get about it is that my mind un-focuses from the book and it's like a movie in my head with my eyes subconsciously being like a narrator reading the page. Sometimes I'll come back to reality and realize what I was doing. Does this happen to anyone else?
Yes, only when reading something interesting though.
Without thinking of anything or trying to visualize anything when I close my eyes, it's always a blank void that fades from white to pitch black. Sometimes if I'm staring at something illuminated it will burn the shape of whatever I was looking at that will fade from bright white into blue and then colors such as red, purple and orange the longer I keep my eyes shut.
I've also noticed that other unfamiliar shapes appear with dark faded colors that start to look like familiar object as they dissipate. Hopefully that answers the question...
