I used to have them real bad when I was a kid. Parents would put me in cold shower etc trying to wake me up. Finally took me to Dr, he had then as a kid also and said too use something loud like a bell to wake me up. Parents would bang pots together to do it. I used to see little scary green men running all over.

It's an attention ploy. Deal with it sternly, perhaps even a spanking, and it will go away.

I had a few of these around the time I bought my house. Would wake up thinking someone was in our room trying to rob us. It really affected the family for a month or so.

Started getting them after some traumatic incident in my early 20's. Stuck around until I about 40. Would always start almost the exact same time after I went to bed (Or at least I thought). I could be looking at the clock each night and they would start at the exact same time and there was nothing I could do to stop them. They went away for about 14 years and then I came down with cancer. It was right after I finished my chemo they came back for about 18 months. Figured the chemicals induced them. Haven't had them for quite some time.

My boy used to wake up, once in a while, crying uncontrollably when he was 4 or so. He could never explain why. I guess it was something like night terrors.

I occasionally get sleep paralysis with night terrors which have been happening to me for about 25 yrs. When it first happened, it scared the crap out of me. I would become physically paralyzed in bed with the presence of other human life forms that appeared demonic inside my bedroom. Through research, I now have a better understanding of this phenomenon, and I am no longer afraid of the experience.

My understanding of what happens is that we become aware while our body is still asleep, it's the state between sleep and wakefulness. We can see into a different dimension around us, hence the odd visions of spirits and demons. This experience is also the transition phase into Astral Projection, which is an out-of-body experience that occurs during sleep and is where our astral body/spirit can leave our physical body and go any place we desire.

My belief is that the entities we see and what they do are meant to frighten or distract us out of this transition state. They are there to prevent us from discovering and achieving the wonders and experience of Astral Travel. Since they are in a different dimension, they can only spook us and never cause physical harm.
