Do babies have nightmares?

Question

My almost 10 mo daughter normally sleeps great. But about an hour into her sleep tonight (in the middle of Game of Thrones!) she very suddenly woke up and was crying. This never happens. It almost seemed like she had a nightmare. Can babies actually have nightmares?

Answer

Yup. My daughter has unfortunately had a lot in the past couple months. She will burst out crying or whimper in her sleep. It's so heart breaking
