Thread: Seeing images with eyes closed.What is this thing called?

I've been lucid dreaming for about a year and this thing happens to me from time to time.. As i lay down trying to fall asleep sometimes an image comes up and it's like i could see through my eyelids.One thing im sure of is that this is not hypnagogic imagery.When they appear , i can clearly see the image right until i move my eyes just a little , if they stay still it becomes extremely vivid and it even starts to move.

For example , one time , a year ago i was trying to do WILD technique (i never succeeded in it) i was too much awake and suddenly i see the sky through branches of apple trees with red apples hanging on them and as i observed , the branches started to move. Then i just moved my eyes a little and it was gone.There were other times when i could see similar things when trying to sleep at night , being fully conscious i remember doing a reality check and moving just to see if it wasnt sleep paralysis or a dream.Strange thing was , that that time ,even after moving , i could continue watching random , vivid 3D images with my eyes closed..

Does anyone know anything about this and what it could be?
