technically, you dont. You can dream while your eyes are opened, most people just happen to have their eyes shut when they are dreaming. You close your eyes so you can sleep, dreaming is just an added bonus.

Perception goes way beyond physical senses. But equivalents of physical senses can be engaged because we have mirror areas in the brain that can be engaged to translate information from other sources into similar forms as appear from processing of physical sensory inputs. (We can check it in relation to our own experiences, and find the psychology of perceptions and models of the psyche and neuroscience research findings and other spiritual metaphors that closely mirror our own experiences and in combination provide an integrated model. But this implies that the dreams are more than meaningless anomalies (or "pathological") along the lines that Freud asserted they were, and which still persists in the worldview of some. Although, it's uncommon these days, some psychiatrists go a step further than even Freud and record overnight dreams as "psychotic episodes, but without recording that they were stated to be overnight dreams. To understand more and experience and experiment and discover and develop your own understandings and interpretations, you could research and try out what sometimes is called "lucid dreaming". There's a book called "Master of Lucid Dreams" written by a psychiatrist called Olga Kharatidi, that gives some sense of what it might be about. She's a psychiatrist originally from Russia, now practising in the US, who also draws from experience associated with metaphors other than the mainstream psychiatric ones.

We close our eyes to sleep. We sleep to dream. We dream for dreaming.

Well if you are talking about day dreaming, people close their eyes so they are not distracted by sight and can focus more on what it is they are imagining in their head.
