Sounds like gear lever has popped out of selector leaving you with a stick full of neutrals and still in gear. Have not had it on a subaru but have had it on an old antique tractor and mk3 cortina come to think of it. Solution was to take gear gaitor off and try and put the ball on end of lever back into selector slot. Usually happens when a bit of wear and tear is evident. Lots of dropping the clutch at high revs might be considered to be a wee bit hard on components.

a common problem is the 1st and 2nd selector fork snap. Sound like this to me.
