Imagine you are standing in front of a mirror, facing it. Raise your left hand. Raise your right hand. Look at your reflection. When you raise your left hand your reflection raises what appears to be his right hand. But when you tilt your head up, your reflection does too, and does not appear to tilt his/her head down. Why is it that the mirror appears to reverse left and right, but not up and down?

A person's left or right in space depends onhis position or to where he's facing.
Our body is symmetric about the line joining the head and leg.
So head and leg alog with front is the reference,about which we decide where our right or left is.
A person's top is always in the direction above head or that is away from the body
But we can't say where a person's left or right is.It depends on to where he's facing.

for moving hands : the direction of the reflection for every action has to be the same as the object, and for having the same direction , it has to take the opposite side as it is a reflection on 180*.

for head's up and down, the direction is the same and also in the opposite side but we cant see it as
it is at a reflection of 180*.but if we observer the movement of ears, than we can identify the same as moving our hands. as head is a single object part and hands are two object part to compare side.
