Hello...Screaming loudly and getting scared could be due to bad dream ./ not pleasant experience.You need to assess what is all that you watch before going to bed,your Routine activities that includes screen time,what all you watch ?? When we watch something dark or unusual our Sub Concious Brain has the tendency to store those data and when we are into deep sleep we witness those images,related episodes that could be causing factor of these unusual experiences.Start self assessment and you will observe the causing effects . Consult a Counseling Psychologist/therapist for a detailed intervention.YOU can connect with me or with any other Counselor Via Practo.Take Care and Stay Safe.
