Subject vs. Object
When we sense the correlation between apparent movements in the scenery and our own movements, subject and object merge. However, when we use the resulting sense of presence to determine the depth of space before us, subject and object become separated. So, whereas the conscious mind understands itself as being separate from its surroundings, the subconscious mind is intimately connected with its surroundings, since it perceives its own presence through the changing appearance of its surroundings.
