What am I seeing?

[suprunp]

At first, he thought it might be an optical illusion, a mere trick of light rays, but the more he looked at it, the surer he became that there was a second moon with solid outlines up there. His mind went blank as he stared in its direction, open-mouthed. What am I seeing?
(H. Murakami; 1Q84)

Do you often use 'see' in the present continuous in this meaning?

Thanks.

I would.

What am I seeing?
Where am I going?
What am I doing?
What was I thinking?
These are all frequently used present continuous expressions.
They may start within one's mind, but could be expressed either silently or out loud.

I used to think that the verb 'see' and 'think' etc. were slightly different in this regard.
Is it possible then "Who am I loving?"

Thanks.
