Those folders have been added to the project. You're technically always in a project, even if it's anonymous/not saved.

Go to the Project menu, then select Add Folder to Project.

If you mean the white panel on the left side of the text editor, that's the side bar. You can make that bar appear in sublime text by selecting the 'View' menu, submenu 'Side Bar', and select the option to 'Show Side Bar'. Alternatively, the keyboard shortcut is cmd + k, then cmd + b.

In Sublime, you can have get that window with the side view by, 1) in the top bar select File, 2) in the drop down, select Open, 3) select the project folder (not the file) and click on the "open" button.
