That sounds like a type of imagery to me, specifically, phenomenological imagery.

One of my favorite examples of this is by Haruki Murakami:

â€œYou might think you made a new world or a new self, but your old self is always gonna be there, just below the surface, and if something happens, it'll stick its head out and say 'Hi. ' You don't seem to realize that. You were made somewhere else.â€

The internal "old self" sticking ts head out and saying hi is the phenomenological imagery.

This kind of imagery is, IMO, possibly the hardest to pull off but also has the most potential insight into the inner self, the consciousness.
