Hi Miss HC
There's a fine line between the two really. I get both. My night terrors usually happen within a half to one hour of falling asleep. I experience a paralysed sensation and am unable to move my body. I "feel" as if I am awake but in a dreamy way, or I feel as though I CAN'T wake up but am aware of something. I feel terror, evil. I often shout out, whimper, cry, scream. My poor husband has been punched so many times when I act out whatever it is I am dreaming or terrified of. I often sense an overwhelming feeling of being smothered and when I am able to fight the feeling of paralysis, I can sometimes wake up. I feel so sedated that I go right back to sleep and the terror or dream just starts up where it left off. I don't always remember the terror or dream. But I always remember the feeling of fear. The link I posted explains a bit better.
I don't get them every single night, but wish I didn't get them at all.
