Dear Marissakellough44
Did you have any residual headache or any other neurological complaints post that episode? Did that symptom recurred? These are the red flags that should be ruled out before saying that episode was benign. If there were no further symptoms then more likely it was a nightmare and nothing else. Please do see a sleep physician if you have any of the residual neurological symptoms.
