From my understanding Night Terrors are something that you believe to be real even after fully awake. Night Terrors usually occur when you are in a partially conscious state but other sections of your brain are switched off in hibernation mode.
A nightmare you realize was just a dream after coming completely awake.
I've read of Night Terrors of past centuries when people believed they were attacked by demons or witches. One person had a Night Terror that a large black dog had come into their bedroom, hopped upright, placed their front paws on their chest, and pushed down preventing them from breathing. I believe it was blamed on a witch and some old woman was executed for it.
These days Night Terrors are often of the Alien Abduction type. Anal probes are our century's version of witchcraft.
I've never experienced a Night Terror. And I slept walked quite a bit as a kid. I never remembered anything from them.
