My lil brother used to do that he used to scream at the top of his lungs like some thing was about to kill him. They are mostly dreams that they are having like something is getting them and its a reaction in there dream, that happens to come out. Its normal to have a child that does it just make sure no more scarey things at night try using a night light in his room and in the hallway in the bath room make it light for him so he feels more safe.

my two year old son has been doing this lately waking up screaming, kicking, hitting and just hysterical.i don't know how to help him or what to do.he can do it 2hrs after he goes to bed or 4hrs it's really all over the place.i can't tell if he's awake or asleep i really need some advice on what to do. ive tried everything. he's always been on a routine so it's the same thing everynight when i put him down and nothing has really changed.i find he does this more when he hasn't napped during the day (which is usually when he's with my mother in law) any suggestions?

my brother wakes up screaming in the middle of the night and then has a epileptic fit. its been happening for a while now. It get really bad at times he get up and does not know what he is doing . doctors say its a "panic" attack but its cant be. he use to have epelepsy when he was young. and thank god it has stoped but now it happens while he sleeps. what could it be, and what do we do to find out?
