Thread: Eyes shut in dreams dream ends

feel the dream , stop thinking about the real life

if this is happening a lot maybe you are getting too much sleep? I find it tends to occur during the 8+ hours of sleep for me. If this isn't the time it's happening for you, maybe its a confidence issue? It'll help if you had more details
like, how long do you sleep, or how long have you been trying to lucid dream?

If this happens, try to remember that you aren't SEEING with actual eyes, and that even if your dream eyes ARE shut there's no reason NOT to still be able to see. Try something like pausing what you're doing, feeling as many sensations in the dream as you can to keep it stable, and imagining the feeling of your palms pressed against your eyes. Telling yourself you're lucid, slowly draw your hands away from your eyes so that you can see what they were covering up. Really spend time thinking, "What's behind my eyes?" Try to think of it like a game of hide-and-seek where you'd be covering your eyes. Try to find some other tricks like this that would explain something besides your eyelids covering your eyes that could easily be removed. Don't try to force your eyelids open, sometimes this just wakes people up.

There are a lot of old threads on this topic too, try searching for them and you should find some helpful suggestions.
