Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The theme song ends, or The Teaser starts, or we return from a commercial break, or we simply change scenes. What do we see but a close-up of a character's eye? This is an Eye Open, a device sometimes used to show that a character is waking up. Of course, sometimes it's just used to show off an actor's good-looking eyes. Not to be confused with Eye Awaken, which is when a character's eyes suddenly open, but the shot doesn't open with an image of them. See also One-Eyed Shot and Open the Iris. |

Supernatural In the episode "Mystery Spot", many times when the loop resets, the camera is focused on Sam's eyes as "Heat of the Moment" plays in the background. Season 9 ends with a close up of Dean's eye lids popping open to reveal demon-black eyes. |

In The End of Evangelion, after a trippy Instrumentality sequence, we're treated to a live-action close-up of an eye opening. In the movie proper that shot is as disconnected as the rest of the live-action part, but a longer live-action sequence was shot where that would've been Asuka waking up. | |

The Good Place uses this whenever someone wakes up in the Afterlife, or to show a new timeline. The first episode begins with a close-up of Eleanor's eyes as she wakes up. During the first reboot (last episode of season 1/first episode of season 2), we get close-ups of Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jianyu as they wake up. The last episode of season 2 features this again as Eleanor is rebooted back to Earth with Michael saving her. Notably, her squint under the Arizona sun marks this quickly as a very different awakening. |

Only within the dream-world, he is waking up. With an anaesthetic mask on his face. As a surgeon prepares to perform Meat Grinder Surgery on him. Aaaagh. | |
