I have something kind of similar
I'm just randomly daydreaming and I'm suddenly thrown out, and whatever I last saw in my daydream is weirdly similar to what I'm looking at irl
my daydreams are really strong. If I get really into one I can randomly get snapped out of it, and whatever object I'm looking at for some reason will be matching what I last saw in my daydream
my brain has the ability to daydream really well to the point where i sort of see what im daydreaming and this gets stronger when i'm tired and about to sleep to the point where i can pseudo-dream while fully awake (different from lucid dreaming)
for instance, right now i suddenly visualized a new oc; it helps me get art ideas since occasionally i get completely random images; a lot of people cant do that which im really fortunate
