Is it normal to in your sleep not be able to wake up

A few times I have fell asleep, then had s super bad dream of some girl trying to kill my family. And the weird part is she's always in my actual house, and when I get scared and want to wake up I can't! I will try to force my eyes to open but it doesn't work, and I can't scream! That doesn't work either, as hard as I try to do either it usually doesn't work. And I'm stuck listening to her take apart my sister! Is this normal? Or is this not?

    be concious that is only a dream.. If you know it is a dream (while you are dreaming) tell her " here you come again..you are SO PREDICTABLE" ... and them make faces at her (actually do it while you are sleeping) instead to try to wake up...

    for sure you will wake up, trying to make fun of her, .. or telling her, so bored.. you again, . go get an ice cream better !

    Welcome, ((: I rmb mine too. It's a horrible action. I always find a way t wake up. As long as u tell ur mind that it's not real( though it seems real, jus b brave. And u can do it!) keep telling urself t wake up, close ur eyes, take a deep breath and try sit up. It usually works when I tried for 3 times. Normally I would slp with a pillow covering my eyes. So that they won't peek here and there, and with the pillow covering my eyes, I feel more comfortable. ;D

    Have to share this....
    My late dad was having a really bad dream and was really distraught but couldn't wake up. He managed to nudge my mom and say "Oh quick, wake me up! Wake me up!" So she wakened him.

    He said, "Oh thank God you woke me, I dreamt I was getting married again and was walking up the aisle!"

    We laughed for months :o)

    Some times it's just that ur body is too tired, and ur mind is awake but not ur body, it's somehow like ur body n brain is not connected, therefore, couldn't take the command u want.
