Yes, and maybe just pulling a bit of "stock footage" from memory as a guess in relation to a fleeting glimpse of something similar. Our eyes do not actually see objects, just reflections of light, then the brain processes all of that and displays the result as a mental image. Then for those of us with some vivid imaginations or a loose connection or two, things can sometimes become quite interesting in relation to reality. For myself, the worst is while waking up in the morning and sometimes having no idea where I am or whether I am face-up or even upside-down...and then is when I go slow and easy while peeking without moving just in case I might be in a precarious place or position of some kind.
