erschrecken: either "to be/get scared" or "to scare sb."
aufschrecken: hard to translate to be honest, something like "to startle", often refering to a person either resting or even sleeping, which is awoken (and scared/startled) due to something

@tfecha64 Yeah, that's a correct sentence. I don't think it contradicts anything I said to be honest. "resting" is a very general term for "remaining in one position" or "not moving" as well, and not limited to "sleeping" or similar states.

"to rest" [remain in place], [lie, be placed in a specified position]

@Halala no, it doesn't contradict at all. No offense meant, just wanted to give an example!

@Kym_ meiner Meinung nach ja: er hat ihn erschreckt oder er hat sich erschreckt, jedoch: er schreckte auf.
