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

After watching Mushishi I started doing something from one of the episodes. When I want to calm down I close my eyes and then imagine that I can close a second pair of eye lids on top of that so that everything is even more completely dark. After that it feels amazing because if you can actually get yourself in the right mindset it feels like you're floating. Definitely a pretty cool experience every time.

Other than that, I can imagine pretty much anything I want with my eyes closed. It's never really hyper detailed like I would like it to be, but it's still useful.

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?
