Q: Child waking up and running in a daze

My son is 7 years old and every once in a while he will wake up towards the begining of the night, usually within the first hour or two of going to sleep and will start running around. His eyes are open, he seems somewhat aware of his surroundings and will respond to my direction but will not speak, acts sort of in a daze and can't seem to help running back and forth. It almost looks like he is in a trance of sorts. Then after a few minutes he climbs back in bed and doesn't seem to have any recollection of what just happened. I don't think it is Night Terrors because he doesn't seem scared or if he is, it certainly wouldn't be described as, "terror", maybe just a little nervous.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be or where I can go for further info?

Have you discussed this with your pediatrician? My daughter would sit up and act out eating, drinking, combing her hair, etc. but never ran around. I was a sleepwalker as a child and as an adult will occasionally sleepwalk.
