What if you cant wake up from a dream even you pinch yourself?

"Pinch me, I must be dreaming!" That is a familiar expression, but it is not an actual method that is helpful in rousing oneself from a dream. Pinching oneself in a dream would have no physical affect but would merely be another element of the dream.

> However, if one is aware that one is dreaming and wanting to wake up, then the dreamer is lucid and can take control of the dream itself. In other Words, the conscious mind can take over the subconscious function of creating the dream. Inflicting pain on oneself is not necessary. The dreamer simply makes decisions that alter the course of the dream. For example, if the dreamer is running from a monster, just stop running, turn around, and tell the monster: "You are a dream and you can't hurt me. Go away."
