what is the word called when we see images when our eyes are closed?

Answer 1

Imagination

Are you refering to like after-images left after looking at bright lights?

Or are you referring to the weird images that seem to appear if you put slight pressure on your closed eyelids?...I see checkerboard patterns when I do that.
