Is this phenomenon just something that happens to me, or do you know what I am talking about?

No, it happens to me, and presumably most people all the time. It's what your body is actually supposed to do, it's what prevents you from moving all around when you are dreaming. Otherwise, your body would physically act what is happening in your dreams.
It's very frustrating though, I agree. I often dream that I'm getting up and doing things, because I am trying so hard to wake up and move, but I can't. But anyway, yeah, your body is supposed to do that.
