Hi, I have night terrors. Nightmares that I try to wake myself up from but can t quite do it. I fight and fight to wake up but if I relax for a second I slip right back. I can yell for help but I can t move and I can t always use the word I want to yell out. Instead of yelling help me, I ll yell something like stop it! Stop it! A demon is trying to enter me in my nightmare so I yell, stop it! (I don t have much of a belief in demons but people walk around without their heads in my nightmares and I don t always recognize it as a nightmare, so, who knows?) I always know I m having a nightmare when I try to turn on a light and it doesn t work, then try to turn on another light and it also doesn t work. I wake my husband through a closed door (he is also asleep) when I yell & I can hear him come to the doorway talking to me, asking if I m okay, but I can t wake up until he touches me. I had visual and audio hallucinations when I was a child but very rarely as an adult. My brother is paranoid schizophrenic. I m not, though I am paranoid. Do I need to do something about this? I would like to stop yelling in my sleep. Thanks for your time. Kathy
