http://www.drpaul.com/illnesses/nightmares.html

Extractions: Nightmares occur quite commonly in young children. Typically, a child with a nightmare wakes up completely, is very anxious, and usually remembers the content of the dream vividly. Childhood nightmares require no specific treatment, except for reassuring the frightened child. Occasionally, when nightmares become more frequent or occur on a regular basis, it may be a sign of stress in the child's life or environment. Also, the content of the bad dream or nightmare may be a clue to what is stressing the child. Therefore, extreme situations of persistent nightmares may warrant evaluation of the child's family/social environment and psychological state. Night terrors occur less commonly and are different from nightmares. Typically, children with terrors are out of control, but still awake. They may be sitting up in bed, appear frightened, staring with eyes wide open. They may also be sweating, breathing heavily and complaining of seeing peculiar things or objects that are not really there. This period of "terror" may last for up to several minutes and then the child will usually go back to sleep. What distinguishes night terrors (which occur in less than 5% of children) from nightmares is that the child does not recall the dream or event leading to the night terror, and in many cases, does not recall that anything at all happened during the night.

Extractions: More Night Terrors are thought to be a childhood disorder, but many adults suffer from these as well. Sufferers usually have a night terror in the first half of the night during slow-wave sleep. Night terrors are usually inherrited from a parent. During a night terror, the child (children are the most frequest sufferers) usually starts the night terror with a blood-curdling scream. The child will usually be sitting up in bed, sweating profusely. His heart will be racing, his eyes will be bulged, his breathing will be rapid, and he will have a look of sheer terror on his face. Some children may even get out of bed and run wildly around the house. This can be dangerous, because the child may fall down a flight of stairs or run into a wall. Usually the episode is short, not lasting more than a few minutes. The child may wake up, but he won't be frightened or even remember what happened. He may remember a sensation of fear. In older children and adults, night terrors may have a psychological cause. If night terrors are very frequent and bothersome, medication, such as benzodiazepine can help. It is better to identify a possible emotional cause and deal with it.

Question Sometimes I have nightmares, where I jump up out of bed and have very vivid memories of being trapped after a long chase. But my friend told me that what I have are really night terrors. What's the difference? I would have to know more about when the dreams occurred and when you jump up out of bed to really say, but the elaborate story line leads me to believe that these were nightmares, not terrors. Night terrors, on the other hand, occur during the first hour or two of sleep, loud screaming and thrashing about are common, the sleeper is hard to awaken and usually remembers no more than an overwhelming feeling or a single scene, if anything. Nightmares and night terrors arise from different physiological stages of sleep. Children who have night terrors also may have a tendency to sleepwalk and/or urinate in bed. The causes of night terrors are not well understood. Children usually stop having them by puberty. They may be associated with stress in adults. A consultation with a physician may be useful if the night terrors are frequent or especially disturbing.

Extractions: Home Alternative Medicine Stress Management Conditions/ Treatments ... Media Sleep Sleepwalking and Night Terrors Sleepwalking and night terrors are parasomnias. People afflicted with sleepwalking and night terrors appear to rise out of what appears to be deep sleep and act as if they are awake. They, typically, won't respond to other people. They also won't remember what transpired in the night on the following day. Sleepwalking seems to run in families. It is often associated with sleep deprivation. Night terrors and sleepwalking are more likely to occur in the beginning of the night. The victims pass back and forth rapidly between sleep and wakefulness. Most cases of sleepwalking and night terrors begin in early childhood. They can continue into adulthood. They can begin as early as children are able to walk, but it mostly occurs between the ages of four and eight. Usually, they disappear spontaneously after adolescence. Night Terrors Night terrors are most frightening to the parents or others around the victims. Children with night terrors rise up out of a deep sleep seemingly truly terrified, often screaming with fright. Their eyes are open wide, as if seeing some horror that others cannot. Their hearts race, they may tremble, and they take short, shallow breaths. About 3 percent of children experience night terrors. Night terrors occur most often in children between two and five years of age and usually disappear completely by age seven. The disorder also may appear late in life.

Extractions: Q : Recently, our 5-year-old daughter woke up very frightened. When I entered her bedroom to comfort her, she didn't seem to notice my presence. She didn't appear to be awake at all, even though she was sitting up and acting panicked. She's never had a nightmare like this before. A : What you describe sounds like night terrors rather than a nightmare. Night terrors are very distressing for parents to witness. Your instincts tell you to wake and comfort your child. But the best response is to let the episode run its course. If you awaken your child, your reaction to the night terrors may needlessly frighten your child.

http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~hwloidl/TL/tng4/night.html

Extractions: WARNING: The following post contains critical plot information relevant to this week's TNG episode, "Night Terrors", so if you're skittish about being scared...go 'way. In brief: not quite a standout, but far better than I expected. That sounds about right. If not for one major flaw, I think it could've been extremely goodbut I thought it was pretty good regardless. Here's what happened: The Enterprise enters an uncharted binary system in search of a science vessel, the Brittaine, which has been missing for about a month. It finds the Brittaine, intact but adrift...and all the crew are dead of extremely unnatural causes. All but one, that is. The scientific advisor, Hagan, a Betazoid, is alive, although catatonic and withdrawn. While Troi tries to get through to him, Geordi and Data try to restart the Brittaine's enginesbut although everything's working fine, there's no motion. Before long, Beverly tells Jean-Luc of her findingsthe crew of the Brittaine, with no apparent outside influences, killed each other. Meanwhile, Troi has a nightmare, of floating adrift in a fog with a voice saying only "eyes in the dark, one moon circles..." Four days later, with no answers in sight, and tempers mounting (O'Brien gets paranoid about Keiko's alleged "affair" with another man, for example, and Picard hears his ready room door buzz many times with no one there), Picard decides to leave the area. Unfortunately, the engines suddenly fizzle out and stop working, leaving the ship adrift. Data's analysis (SIX days later...) shows that they're caught in a "Tychon rift", and need a large explosion (greater than even the photon torpedoes can generate) to break free.

http://www.ctparentsplus.org/documents/nitetors.htm

Extractions: Connecticut's Parenting Resource NIGHT TERRORS A night terror is a sleep disturbance that can be very upsetting to parents. When children have night terrors, they usually scream or cry out and appear to be frightened, as if they're reacting to a nightmare. Children having night terrors may appear very frightened. They may sit up in bed, thrash their arms and legs, and seem terrified. Night terrors are often more upsetting to parents than they are to the children who have them. When parents try to calm their children during night terrors, they often find that their children do not seem to recognize them and do not respond to them. This is because children having night terrors are still asleep. Their eyes may be wide open, but in fact they are asleep. Parents often confuse night terrors with nightmares, when in fact they are very different. Night terrors are less common than nightmares. Unlike nightmares, night terrors take place during very deep sleep and generally occur during the first four hours of sleep. Though they are rare, they most often occur around the ages of four and five, and they usually stop around eight years of age. Night terrors are not usually considered to be dangerous or to be a cause for concern. It is not presently known why children have night terrors, but they do tend to run in families. They are not believed to be related to stresses or problems in everyday life that children may have. They are usually not upsetting to children, because they don't remember the night terror the next day, and do not wake up while they are having them. Most often the children having night terrors return to quiet sleep within a short period of time.

Focus On Your Family's Health: Night Terrors In Children
night terrors in Children, What could be causing this? It sounds to me likenight terrors, which is different than nightmares or scary dreams.
http://health.family.org/questions/A0000570.html

Extractions: My five-year-old daughter seems to have some kind of sleep problem. Shell go to bed with no problem, but then about four hours later she wakes up screaming and crying. The next morning she doesnt even remember it. Often her eyes are open during the episode, but shes not awake. Sometimes she responds slightly to my wife and me when were trying to calm her, sometimes not. My wife has noted that when we wake her up an hour after going to bed, she sleeps through the night without any instances. What could be causing this? It sounds to me like night terrors, which is different than nightmares or scary dreams. One in every four children has nightmares more than once a week. They usually occur between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m. Children can be comforted after they have a bad dream, and they can remember it. Night terrors, on the other hand, usually occur between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. Children will wake up screaming and maybe sweating, breathing fast or have dilated pupils. Children are absolutely terrified, yet still asleep, even if their eyes are wide open. They are difficult to wake up and dont remember the incident later at all. The good news is that night terrors decrease as children get older. Also, although they are frightening and upsetting, they are not dangerous. If the night terrors seem to occur at a specific time, go in 15 to 20 minutes beforehand and wake your child to say a prayer or read a story, and then let her go back to sleep. While night terrors are common, if you notice that the occurrences become more frequent or severe, and do not show any sign of going away with time, see your family doctor.
