I'm trying to dimension the distance from the origin to sketch 8 (under Boss-extrude 1). Why can't I select the origin to measure the dimension?

I'm assuming you want to dimension from the origin to the center of your rectangle.
Expand the feature list and select the origin there then select the rectangle center.
Hope this helps!

Another quick thing to check is if your origin is hidden in your feature tree. It will still show up in your sketch but won't allow you to click on it until it is made "visible".
Either one of the items circled above will hide/show the origin.
Just going "Normal To" the sketch plane will make it easier to select the origin in the graphics area -
