I have had this happen to me many times, but never with "solid" objects.  I
often get the 3D depth effect when looking at chain-link fences, nets, and
other '2D' repeating patterns of that nature.  I can often reach out and put
my hand into this 'world' and it's a really disturbing, though nifty, effect.

I can't really cite any common factors which have brought this on, except 
perhaps daydreaming...
