When he was younger he would sleep walk around the house. We had to put gates up so he would not fall down the stairs and hurt himself. He even had terrors during the day at nap time. It scares the heck out of my husband and I. It's like he's in the middle of a battle yelling and screaming. My husband who does not believe in the super natural at all fell asleep in his room while tucking him in. He woke in the middle of the night and was stricken with fear , there were lights moving around the room. He tried to debunk them (looking out side for cars going by and such) nothing. My husband is now convinced that something is in my sons room and is no longer a disbeliever. My now 8 year old son has been having night terrors since he was about 2.

Night terrors do go away with time. The kid I mention in the post, who is around three now, does not get it anymore. @srikanth, the theme on karmadude.com is a custom one which I designed.

(sleep disorders types) but i m still hunting for a solution. karmadude,

It's been happening almost every night now and my son is 11. He used to stay in bed but now he gets out of bed and will be standing, shaking, sweaty and mumbling a different language. You can't understand anything except once in a while, while I'm trying to console him, he'll say, "I love you, Mom." He won't let me touch him, and he'll be rocking back and forth. It's as though he is looking at something, wide-eyed, that just TERRIFIES him! My husband thinks he's a "freak" and will shout at him, turn on the lights as bright as they go, and nothing will wake him out of this horrible phase. He doesn't remember anything after the fact.

I had night terrors regularly from a very early age (1 year) right up until I was about 13 or 14, by which time they were so often I was finally taken to a doctor by my mother. I quite often would never remember what had happened the night before but from my mothers descriptions it sounded l hellish for both of us. I can however, remember some of them and what I would see...with absolute terror. I recall being walked down our hall way to try and snap me out of it and seeing a group of rugged men at our kitchen table ripping meat off the bone and they were there as real as my mum holding my hand and evoked pure feelings of terror. I could write pages about these things as I've spent years wondering what they were all about. Occaisionally they would happen in the middle of the day in the split second of a blink of the eye....they seemed to come less and less and my last one was probably about 5 years ago now. But I too believe the whole past life thing could very well be a big part of it. Night night. I am curretnly 29 years old.

The difference between night terrors and nightmares is that they don't remember anything the next day. My son, although he knows I am there for him, as I am quietly talking to him and trying to soothe him, is terrified and tries to silence me by putting his hand over my mouth and saying shush. He says the most disturbing things, but mostly it is not something we can understand. I am not certain he is not speaking in another language, but I am a bit doubtful. He has said, 'it hurts' and his last night terror he very disturbingly said, 'just kill me'. I was stunned. It has made me even more convinced that it is something he has experienced in a past life.

One case involves a 4 yr. that has night terrors and as his parents ask him Q's while in this state (are you alright ?, are you hurt ? ) the child claims he was in ww2, it was this case that incuraged me to ask my child Q's while in his night terrors. My son has had these ( night terrors )his whole life, he is now thirteen and he claims he was in the hindenburg! he used to call it a blimp when he was younger( 6-7). The details came out the older he's gotton... very twilight zoneish, I'm still doing research on this Michelle They have documented cases on children with night terrors and links to past lives… One case involves a 4 yr. that has night terrors and as his parents ask him Q’s while in this state (are you alright ?, are you hurt ? ) the child claims he was in ww2, it was this case that incuraged me to ask my child Q’s while in his night terrors.
