I've seen that too while staring at a patterned floor.
I've also experimented by placing a hand up in front of one eye a few inches away and keeping both eyes open. Normally, the unobstructed eye overrides with the image to the brain, but if you mentally focus on seeing through the blocked-view eye, even while your eyes are focusing in the distance or not focused on anything in particular and just relaxed, that image of your hand will appear to dominate and block out what the unobstructed eye is seeing. It's easier to do if the unblocked eye is looking at something that is not too brightly lit. Most of the time the unblocked-eye view will become dominant again relatively easily.
