Do you ever see "other things" in smudges and smears?

Right now, instead of seeing a smeared fingerprint on the home button on my iphone, I see what appears to be El Capitan: in Yosemite.
I am always seeing stuff in smears and smudges and clouds and shadows and paint drips.
Do you regularly see “other stuff”? Can you see anything right now?

Geez, everywhere. Textured ceiling? Faces, cool trees with gnarled branches, ET, bunny with one ear folded down.
Unfinished wood? Cow face, pretty fish, witch hat.
There was a spot on my tv screen I left there for like a month, because it was funny to see where it ended up. News anchor with a mole, ink spot on somebody’s shirt pocket, oh! It’s a booger hanging from Sally Field’s nose.
It’s quite common. It’s also the reason that people see things like ships, skulls, creatures etc from the Mars rover pictures.
There’s a term for it (don’t remember. ) It has something to do with the human mind trying to make sense of randomness…
Self made Rorschach tests! Sure Alla time!
A smudge by any other name is still a smudge. All I see right now is my PC screen.
@NomoreY_A really? I see my screen with an outline of the British Isles as imparted in the lower right hand corner by my wayward grandchild who, at three, thinks everything is a touch screen.
Sure. We’re kind of hardwired to. I don’t take it as some sort of sign though.
