Night terrors are very common in childhood. The fear of abandonment by the mother is an ever present trigger, especially if the parents argue often. Another frequent cause is allergy to some foodstuff and childhood illnesses.
In adult life the subconscious often uses negative emotions as waking elements especially when there is stress and overwork/tiredness in the life of the sleeper.
The subconscious works mysteriously! sometimes when one feels on top of the world, the subconscious creates a waking dream that pulls you down a peg or two!
Have you heard the saying:
"got out on the wrong side of the bed"- meaning: grumpy!
Don't take much notice of your dreams; they are dreamt to do a job whilst you sleep and should be forgotten on waking.
