To whoever asked about the difference between night terrors:
There's more to it than this, but I got them my whole childhood, and for me they were different than regular nightmares b/c my parents couldn't wake me up. I would scream and cry, and if they had any physical interaction with me, it just intensified the terror. So, my mom hugging her 3 year old turned into someone strangling me in my dream.
Night terrors also last mentally a lot longer than nightmares...at least for me they did...nightmares woke me up but I couldn't remember what was so scary, while night terrors left me freaked out and just disturbed for hte next 3 days...I couldn't get certain images out of my head.
Horrible horrible stuff.
