Visual effects and joy

In recent months, while doing inner work or while sleeping and dreaming, I occasionally experience a burst of joy simultaneous with a geometric pattern in my visual field. The pattern is of a kind we used to call psychedelic. Usually a fine-grained monochromatic checkerboard grid on a plane with waves in it. I can't find anything exactly like it on the web, but something like these:

It feels like the joy is about seeing the pattern.
