I think I have something like that. When I'm sleepy, I like to close my eyes and "take a ride" picturing myself looking out the window of a bus driving on a country road, I'd see in mind's eye high definition images of the scenery I pass by, individual flowers, a resting deer, a snowy mountain in the distance, a pretty girl riding on a bicycle, sometimes the scenery will suddenly change from one season to a different one, or one type of landscape (e.g. wheat fields) to a different one (e.g. river bank), like those AI generated "predict next frame" videos ... it's a super relaxing experience. What I find interesting is that I do not feel like I'm in any way "directing" this movie, I continue to be curious to see what will arrive next in my "field of vision" and I have no expectations one way or the other (to be clear, if I do form a volition to see, say, a panda running by the bus, I will succeed; the point is that volition is not needed for new unanticipated images to arrive on their own)
