Hmm.... could you explain one thing involving this question?

What do you mean by; "that your brain expects that the puff of white between the fingers is a cloud; that is much farther away than the hand?" Are you meaning when you hold your hand away from your face and look upward towards the sky?

It is a perceptual consistency, especially since you know you can't touch it due to how far away the clouds are.
