What Causes Quivering Bottom Lip With Lot Of Saliva In The Mouth?

Last two nights my child woke up with quivering bottom lip, mouth full of saliva,unable to speak and in a trancelike state for several minutes until he becomes aware of his surroundings. He tries to speak but cannot and after several moments when he can it is garbled sounding. His lip quivering is not controllable and he spits out large amounts of saliva. Both times these episodes lasted 20 mins until normalcy returns. This May or may not be related but he often makes a clicking noise while he is sleeping.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Kindly mention age of your child.
Is he attending school?
Theses episodes are recent - speak with him if he has some bad dream, some one treating him badly or humiliating or threatening, at home , school or any other place he is visiting. Reassure him. Child may not open up in one go. Spend some time with him to find what is happening in his life. If he tells some thing believe him and let him know that you truly believe him.
Clicking noises made are quite possibly due to the same reason or you may even check for worm infestation.
Keep a close watch on him and his surroundings.
If any othe symptom arises consult a local doctor.
