"the subject precedes its own negation, if Atma is an illusion with no reality sustaining and underlying it, then it wouldn't be consciously experienced as awareness, there are no examples of illusions such as mirages being self-aware like we are, you cannot have a dream without a dreamer

What the student is saying merely enforces the idea that we need the idea that we need to see objects as units and attribute self awareness to ourselves in order to attribute experiences to ourselves.
If this wasn't the case, we wouldn't have anything to place anything in the outside world in juxtaposition to.
Everything would simply 'be', and not 'be, compared to, us'.
The student hasn't proved the atman to be existent, eternal, or in fact, anything to exist outside of our perception.
