Think about some time when you have noticed that people move their eyes while they talk and listen. These eye movements do not occur randomly. Each movement of the eyes functions to indicate certain neurological precessing.

The patterns go as follows: when most right-handed people move their eyes up and to the left, they call pictures previously seen. When they move their eyes up and to the right, they construct an image putting together pieces which they may not have ever seen.

Eyes moving level in the head to the left indicates recalling of remembered words. Eyes moving level to the right indicate the constructing  of sentences. If the eyes go down and to the left, the person engages in an internal dialogue – usually about highly valued values and principles. Here a person has a synesthesia (combination, merging) of two senses – they speak feeling words to themselves as the consider something of importance. When eyes move down and to the right, they access kinesthetic awareness (feelings, sensations) and emotions. Eyes centered and defocused often indicates the person is making pictures; however, many also process internal dialogue this way.
