Night terrors are not dreams, it's more of a state of panic and fear...so when they wake up, they don't really remember a dream, like you would with a nightmare, and they are usually moaning or gasping upon awakening.

My son had night terrors for about a year.
He would sit up in bed and just scream,this usually went on for 5to10 minutes.
His eyes were open and in the morning he didn't remember a thing.
I've had nightmares,they were nothing like that.
The worst thing about them is that you can't do anything.I just sat there holding him till he went back to sleep.
Big difference.

A nightmare is a bad dream. A night terror is when you wake up but are still paralyzed because your body is still in sleep mode.
