I think hypo's right, in a general way. Remember, this is just a generalization. The reason our eyes shift horizontally during REM sleep is because our world is planar that way. But there are indiginous people in places like The Amazon where, because their ability to avoid predators and/or find food is based upon trees, their eyes shift vertically during REM.
Images--good ones--have three dimensions, but not in the true planar sense. Since I started using Photoshop at my job, I've come to believe that the third dimension in images (good ones, at least) is texture.
