Hi,

Both my kids have done this and I still don't know why? One dr actually diagnoised DS with night terrors it got that bad, he would scream for 30-40min in his sleep. Now he is 4.5yr old he often tells us about his dreams and they aren't nice. he has never watched a scary movie or heard a scary story in his life yet the other day he had a dream about a man who broke into our house locked mummy and daddy up and pout him in a wooden box and took him away. (made me cry to hear it)

DD also seems to have an irrational fear of the dark? from birth if she was out at night, in the car at night etc she would scream and nothing would calm her. Have no idea what is going on their but we now do a lot of driving with the internal light on :-)
