(das) Kopfkino
 noun: (literally) head cinema
This word is used to refer to the process of remembering or imagining events. It takes place in your own imagination: in a similar way a film plays in the cinema.
Manchmal schließe ich für einen kurzen Moment meine Augen, um mich im Kopfkino an Bilder aus längst vergangenen Zeiten zu erinnern. = Sometimes I close my eyes for a short moment in order to remember memories of times gone by.
Meine Lieblingssängerin hat ihr neues Album veröffentlicht, was die perfekte Begleitmusik fürs Kopfkino ist! = My favourite singer has released her new album, which is the perfect background for your imagination!
