What kind of dream was that? Is that normal?

I recently had a dream last night, and towards morning I realized I was present but couldn't open my eyes; my body was somehow preventing it. I just carried on dreaming without any problems, even though I was more or less present, and then I woke up properly after about three minutes.

The times, these "3 minutes" and the "in the morning" are only estimates, because I couldn't open my eyes
