My therapist used to call the Day Terrors. I used to have them regarding my daughter. If she were away from me I would have flashes of seeing her run over by a car or falling on a stick, etc. They were leaving me very upset, short of breath and panic stricken. I still have them sometimes but not as often. I'm not sure what made them be more infrequent but I'm sure glad that they have gotten better.
