Prisoner's Cinema is a phenomena experienced by those who spend prolonged amounts of time in the dark.  The "Cinema" refers to the series of images that the mind creates, often emotionally intense or terrifying.  Prisoner's Cinema is the most extreme form of a symptom that I regularly experience called Entoptic (inside the eye) Phenomena.
