I had a dream the other night that someone was breaking into a building that my mom and i were in and when i tried to wake up from it, it felt like my body wasn't physically able to do it.

It is not really an inability, but rather a lack of commitment to.
One theory holds that a dream does not occur in real time. That is, if you dream that you spend an hour running, you actually only actually dream for a few minutes. Your mind only fills in the passing of time.
If you have a lucid dream, you realize you are dreaming. If you believe you are trying to wake up, but cannot, then there is a part of your mind which does not want to, or rather wants to believe that it cannot wake up.

If you mean you become aware of your dream state and still remain undisturbed, then you are having a lucid dream. You should take pride in the ability to do this; it is an ability sought after by hippies the world over. Supposedly, while experiencing a lucid dream, you can direct and shape the situations and outcomes of those dreams.

well, if u never woke up, then how are you typing? and if its not you, then how would the person who never woke up be able to tell you that they couldnt wake up from the dream? they'd have to wake up first in order to tell you that.

You may be experiencing sleep paralysis. Some antidepressants can help that problem.

it's called sleep, and if you go to a class they can tell you how to control it the way you want
