Ask her to talk about these nightmares, if she wants. Waking her up during will also make it easier to remember more details. Kind of like 'rescuing her' from them. If shes 'thrashing', and pleading to not have to kill mommy , thats pretty serious, imo.
You said she says other 'creepy' stuff.
Like what, if you feel like sharing...

One thing my mother has said to me before about something I said as a very young child, was that I used to talk about
when I was an old man. That I would tell stories about things I used to do as an old man.
However now, I have no recollection of these events.
No biggie really. Either it was past or she can see the future.
thanks for the advice, I do hold her and rub her everytime it happens and she does seem to "let it go" and cuddle back comfortably. Its happening less and less, used to be every night, now its about once every couple weeks. I have no doubt something is terrorizing her in her sleep. Also i say its no big deal bc, what can you do really? she seems to be handling it best she can on her own. I will teach her more as she ages, just last night i had a conversation with her about dreams and not to be scared to talk to me about them. she is slowly telling me more and more.

Or something is tormenting her. Pressure on chest during sleep can mean something else.
Ever hear of succubus? Best to wake her up during those 'holding breath' moments, the dream evaporates.
Remind her that dreams may seem real, but really aren't, that they don't hurt us while we are awake.
Tell her when you wake her to not be afraid, to tell the 'voice' to go away, stop bothering me. It feeds on fear, will leave after a while if it doesn't get that fear energy from her.
Wake her up next time shes holding her breath, tell her to tell it to leave, maybe say a little prayer with her, if you are so inclined.
