Sheet lightning can be seen when lightning is close to the horizon. The individual strikes can't be seen, but simply light up the distant cloud.

It occurs when you pull the sheets away from the covers too quickly. Do this in the dark and you can see the "spark".
Just joking.... that is static electricity. :-)
Sheet lightning occurs when the actual bolt or flash of lightning is hidden behind the clouds. When sheet lightning occurs the entire sky flashes a glowing white color.
Here is a picture of it:
