You most likely have night terrors. I used to have them as a little girl. When I was about 4 years old I had night terrors for about a month and then they went away.
Night terrors occur when a person is sleeping. In your sleep you may scream, kick, hit, punch, and not even wake up.
My mom took me to see a psychologist and she told me to imagine someone I consider a hero before falling asleep. Then, as soon as I awake from the night terror, draw a picture of what I imaged and talk about it with my parents.
This obviously worked because they stopped shortly after. I know you're not four, but you may want to try something similar and see if it helps you.
Additionally, since purchasing a dream catcher I seem to have many less nightmares than in the past.
