Well we were walking one day. For some odd reason I had this bad feeling while we we're walking.
I knew it was close to dark outside. But Koda didn't sense anything yet so I thought that was a good thing and we were safe for now.
Not even five minutes later I don't knock down to the ground by a dog. When I look around me there were alot of different dogs around me.
Koda took his stance in front of me and bared his teeth.
The next I knew the lease was gone from my hand and I looked at koda was fighting with the dogs.
Then I saw koda's head ripped off his body. I kept screaming that this can't be real, please don't let it be real.
Then I felt licking on my face. I opened my eyes and there standing above me was koda waking me up.
I grabbed him as tight as I could not letting go until I stopped crying.
Sleep terrors (night terrors)
Overview
Sleep terrors are episodes of screaming, intense fear and flailing while still asleep. Also known as night terrors, sleep terrors often are paired with sleepwalking. Like sleepwalking, sleep terrors are considered a parasomnia - an undesired occurrence during sleep. A sleep terror episode usually lasts from seconds to a few minutes, but episodes may last longer.
Sleep terrors affect almost 40 percent of children and a much smaller percentage of adults. However frightening, sleep terrors aren't usually a cause for concern. Most children outgrow sleep terrors by their teenage years.
Sleep terrors may require treatment if they cause problems getting enough sleep or they pose a safety risk.
Symptoms
Sleep terrors differ from nightmares. The dreamer of a nightmare wakes up from the dream and may remember details, but a person who has a sleep terror episode remains asleep. Children usually don't remember anything about their sleep terrors in the morning. Adults may recall a dream fragment they had during the sleep terrors.
Sleep terrors generally occur in the first third to first half of the night, and rarely during naps. A sleep terror may lead to sleepwalking.
During a sleep terror episode, a person may:
Begin with a frightening scream or shout
Sit up in bed and appear frightened
Stare wide-eyed
Sweat, breathe heavily, and have a racing pulse, flushed face and dilated pupils
Kick and thrash
Be hard to awaken, and be confused if awakened
Be inconsolable
Have no or little memory of the event the next morning
Possibly, get out of bed and run around the house or have aggressive behavior if blocked or restrained
When to see a doctor
Occasional sleep terrors aren't usually a cause for concern. If your child has sleep terrors, you can simply mention them at a routine well-child exam. However, consult your doctor if sleep terrors:
Become more frequent
Routinely disrupt the sleep of the person with sleep terrors or other family members
Lead to safety concerns or injury
Result in daytime symptoms of excessive sleepiness or problems functioning
