Can babies have nightmares

My 13mo keeps having these bursts of tears in the middle of the night. Scares me so bad because they don’t work up to it, just instant screaming out of a dead sleep. Does it for like 1-2 mins then goes right back to sleep like just as fast. Its 1:30 am & it just happened again. It’s been happening more & more frequently over the last 3 weeks or so.

Is it nightmares or something?

Edit: My 4 year old has night terrors. They were very frequent as soon as he turned 3 but they’re more rare now. I didn’t know they could start so early 😩. I hate when they’re upset & there’s nothing to help & you don’t know what’s wrong
