I hope I have a dream like this and become mildly lucid, so that I can punch someone(her new bf or her ex, I don't care, they represent the same threat), or at least will myself to do to some harm, just so I can feel good about it. Better to beat some ass in my dreams rather than in real life(legal repercussions). Both those dicks deserve it *

YES! Another Kevin Smith fan!!!
You made my day! :-D
As for the punching mattter; why you can't speed your fists to dramatical injury speed (that sounds wrong), could be for many reasons.
You say your brother was hitting you and you wanted to act in self-defense? Possibly this was your true subconscious mind willing you to slow down before actually hitting because you don't truly want to hit him. In real life, we may think about it in the back of our head that we don't want to hit someone, but are already in the middle of, however, in dreams, our subconscious can manipulate time, thus, slowing it down for you to fully realise the "reality" of the situation.
Also, it may be in correlation to why you can't typically run in dreams. Why you can't run is probably because of the matter that in your dreams, phsycial entity and properties and typically non-existant, and that you have an endless amount of time in this dream state. This two together will stop you from typically running. What I mean by this is that your body does a lot of things while you run, and when you try to run in your dream, your brain won't allow you to because the (I believe) parential lobes of your brain are on a much, much, lower wavelength than any other time. Ergo, you will not be able to run because your brain won't allow you to, because it knows you don't need to. Also, your brain knows you don't need to because you are in a subconscious/unconscious state. There is no need to run, there is no adreneline in dreams, etc. (Persay.. that's a controversial line right there, I know, but level with me for a sec) And since the major parts of your brain that operate your body are on a low standy-by, it will stop you from running in this state, especially during REM sleep.
I believe that basically sums it all up..
Hope I was enlightening,
