Last night I found out that if you roll your eyeballs backwards (as in look up) and kind of half-close your eyes, your eyelids start flickering really quickly, sometimes uncontrollably. And it reminds me of something I read a while ago about sleep cycles and how your eyes flicker when you're dreaming.

Oh it only works when you're a little tired. I've tried it when I'm awake, it doesn't work.

Mine actually do this when I'm completelly awake, too. I do have very shakey hands though because I've always got to be moving and fidgeting, but I don't know if this is why I do it when I'm fully awake.

I had a girlfriend who did that when she reached orgasm.

Well, generally the eyes move not so much in that kind of flicker pattern during REM, but more like a side to side motion. (Though not quite the eye-movement signal Dr. LaBerge and others have used during lucid dream laboratory tests.)

I know what you're talking about though, I can do it a little bit when fully awake.
