  • Claire’s dreams (poor James!!) 
  • The differences between nightmare and night terrors and what happens 
  • Why someone might have a night terror and why you shouldn’t wake them up 
  • Nightmares (what these look like and when they happen) and vivid dreams (Claire’s dad calling the cows in for example!!) 
  • When you would get night terrors checked by the GP 
  • Things you can do to help prevent nightmares / night terrors 
  • How nightmares can be caused by trauma
