My oldest used to do this. sometimes she would wake up screaming and terrified other times just talking enough to wake me up and go check on her. When I asked the doctor said to watch what she did at night, reading, TV, even what she ate. In her case we figured it was things happening at school that she was not telling us about. Things that were bugging her. She would not remember anything at all either. We have not had an incident for about a year now. Good luck.

My son did this when he was little. The best advice I ever got was not to wake him or touch him. The doctor told me to say his name and then start telling him a story about something else. Example...Remember the time when we had all those puppies and they would lick your face, remember how it tickled, you would giggle, that puppy is licking your face now, he so cute. Once he had taken what I was talking about and dreaming about it instead, I would rub his back and help to calm him, kiss him on the forehead and leave him to a better dream. Even though they are asleep they can hear every word you say, if you over react and try to wake them then you become a part of the night terror. There were times when he would wake up the next morning and tell me about the puppies licking his face. He's 18 now and still dreams heavily.

My daughter did this until she was 9. She had night terrors. Sometimes didn't even wake up. We just made sure she didn't eat or drink too close to bedtime, was sufficiently tired (we did some tai bo if the day had been more sedentary that usual) and did happy things before bed. Still happened average twice a month, but those things seemed to help. We also did like leatherflea said, and rubbed her back and made comforting noises, but did NOT wake her.
