It's not exactly what you'd call "seeing". It's more like it's rendering to an off-screen buffer somewhere -- I'm able to perceive imagery and details if I actively think about them, but not in the same way I see things with my eyes. I'm convinced most people experience the same thing, but they lack the ability to communicate their experience so their descriptions sound wildly different. If it were possible to step inside my brain for a moment and take a peek, one person might say I see things in vivid detail, whereas another might say I don't see anything at all.
