Probably you are getting night terrors which occurs during NREM sleep. Dreams in this sleep can't be recollected contrary to nightmares occurring during REM sleep. If episodes are really troublesome then try tab conotril MD.
Pay attention to following red flags and consult nearest neurologist if present.
1. Tongue bite
2.urinary incontinence
3. Witnessed convulsions
4. Frothing from mouth.
