Personally, I'm always surprised when a multiple system, or at least a large-population one, is able to get along without any kind of subjective space. I know it happens, but I have some difficulty imagining how a large number of people get along without at least envisioning a space to interact in.
What always amazed me was that it was frequently therapists who were urging their clients to make a 'safe place inside' or individual rooms for everyone-- hell, we've even known singlets who were told to make a 'place inside'-- and then, when it turned out to be very complex and elaborate (leading me to wonder if they were making or just discovering it), the same therapists started to get on their cases for 'fantasizing.'
And Julian sez: "The concept of a world inside your mind or a parallel world where one could live a separate life is extremely old and has been used by writers since before George Ganaway was a twinkle in his daddy's eye."
