I just watched a program on bbc2 (UK tv) about dreaming and there was a scientist featured towards the end who specializes in lucid dreams. The method he uses to induce a state of lucidity involves telling the subject to move their eyes from left to right if they at any time while asleep felt an external light being shone on them. This eye movement in response to the light is supposed to induce lucidity.

Anyway, I had never heard of this method and was simply wondering if anyone else had heard of it or if anyone had tried it. It seems a lot simpler/easier than methods ive previously read about.
