This only happens when she is sleeping and she is very afraid to go to sleep now.

She needs to see a doctor. She could be having intense dreams from a medication, or night itching or any number of things. It's understandable that she is afraid to go to sleep. I think medical help is needed as soon as possible.
Take care,
Carol
