Threatening talk during sleep

For years now I have had episodes of someone talking to me as I am asleep they say threatening things like if you don't do this in the next hour your sister will die cursing you for not saving her. I seem very aware of the discussion, know that it is nonsense, but can't stop it or wake up from it. It is often about death, and me causing it to myself, other people or animals. I can go for weeks when it doesn't happen then it will again night after night with different death subjects. Has anyone else experienced this and found a way to manage it? I can't seem to pin it down as a diagnosis, confusional arousals seem the closest but not right. Thank you.
