I don't have any personal experience with night terrors. But I heard an interesting technique from someone who was having a similiar problem of being chased by a huge beast all the time in her dreams. One night she finally quit running, and when it came right up to her face, she kissed it on the nose. She said after doing that a few times it quit coming for her.

I'm not sure that will work for you, especially if it's on your back. But maybe relaxing, and trying to treat it like something cute and friendly (in other words the opposite of your normal feelings towards it) might help.

Again, this is just hearsay. I'd say to be careful whatever you do.

Maybe someone else here has some different advice.
