Stickgold et al. (2000) have proposed that Tetris imagery is a separate form of memory, likely related to procedural memory. This is from their research in which they showed that people with anterograde amnesia, unable to form new declarative memories, reported dreaming of falling shapes after playing Tetris during the day, despite not being able to remember playing the game at all.
I have anecdotal evidence that this is totally real! We had to program Tetris as part of my freshman year Intro CS class. For a couple of weeks all I could think about were falling, rotating shapes. The worst was in the shower, when the tiles lining the stall would start dancing.

My undergrad degree in cs is good for two things: 1) helping me test out of Info 206, and 2) understanding super dorky xkcds.
