"Dreaming With My Eyes Open" is a song written by Tony Arata and recorded by American country music singer Clay Walker.

It was released on May 27, 1994 as the fourth and final single from his self-titled debut album, and was featured in the soundtrack to the film The Thing Called Love.

"[2] Larry Flick of Billboard wrote "Walker has played a hell of a good game at radio, and urged along by a relentless rhythm track, he hits this one right out of the park.

It features Walker playing outside a BBQ restaurant south of Austin, Texas near a dirt road waiting for a ride.

Eventually a woman in a pickup truck picks him up and they drive down rural roads.
