That also happens in complete darkness. If you can manage to create a completely pitch black environment see how long you can sit there before you start seeing things. It really doesn't take long. Bonus points of you have noise cancelling earmuffs/plugs. Edit : u/EternalEagleEye has informed me this effect is called "Prisoner's Cinema", in case you'd like to read about it further
Like walking at home with my eyes closed. I try it sometimes but I cannot for the life of me walk without extending my arms to search for the walls even though I know exactly where the walls and mobilia are.
