Question:
Last night, the first time in a year and a half my boyfriend had a nightmare (or night terror) I woke up and had hit the side of my face and was on top of me and had his hands around my neck. I quickly kicked him off after screaming. He said he was having a nightmare. I asked him if this happens often he is a 30 year old man. He says once a year maybe but it has always been the pillow. After that happening I wasn't able to go back to sleep, and am scared to sleep with him again. I only see him on weekends. What is causing this?? and what happens if I don't wake up so quickly next time??? Please help!
