What is the difference between a nightmare and a night terror?
I'm going to put a huge SPOILER ALERT on this info because it could ruin the thread for some: We all know what a nightmare is, I'm not going to explain that. A night terror is usually in children. They stay asleep screaming bloody murder and are almost impossible to wake up (obviously, because they're screaming, often flailing, and not waking up from that already). They often don't report having any nightmares during that time, at least that they remember.
