That moment you wake up in the middle of the night with a hot
flush and your heart pounding a million miles an hour.. Then you realise the reason
you woke up is because your eldest daughter (Miss H is 5) is screaming your
name with a stomach wrenching scream.
I literally have to jump out of bed and take a bolt down the hall way, tripping over toys and stubbing a toe on the way. When I reach Miss H’s room, I find her sitting there in a daze barely away and in a zombie like state. This has happened about 5 or so times now within the last two month.. “This” of course is these horrible night terrors.
I try and calm her down and try and get some words out of her to
let me know what is happening in these terrible dreams, but all I get is a moan
and a grunt and then she will lay herself down again.
Tonight was one of the worst ones I have seen her have, and went
in there only to find her sitting up tears gushing down her face.. I ask her
what is wrong and all she can tell me is, “The gooses.. It was the gooses.” I don’t
know what could be causing these and really need some opinions and help on how
to stop them.
My heart breaks every time I hear that chilling scream and I
feel so helpless not being able to help my baby angel and make them go away.
I have bought her a dream catcher and explained to her what they
do etc. And how when I was a little girl I would not go to sleep without them.
That helped for a little bit but now no matter what these horrid night terrors
occur. They get so bad I am actually scared that my poor baby will be to
terrified to go to sleep L
Please if you can help us, or have any suggestions I would LOVE
to hear from you!
