Should I be concerned about my best friend who wakes up from his sleep, jumping around, hitting me on purpose in the face, grabbing at me?

Yes. He may be suffering from night terrors or another sleep disorder that could cause him to be aggressive. I'd have him see a doctor.

Nearly every person who has experienced abuse of any kind will tell you that in retrospect they experienced a warning. A "red flag" or an "inner nudging" a general uneasiness that something is not quite right about a person or the situation. Like you, they worried about their safety. Some didn't listen and got hurt. What will you do?
