5 yr old shouting whilst fast asleep

My 5 yr old daughter regularly shouts out in the middle of the night (she sleeps 7pm-7am) either calling 'mummy, mummy' or shouting out to her older brother 'no, you are not allowed in my room'. When I go to her room, she is fast asleep. Does anyone know if this is normal / something she will grow out of or something I should be concerned about? she seems oblivious to it, but I am tired from waking unnecessarily!

My 5 year old does this too. HE will sometimes have a full on conversation in his sleep, and sometimes says hilarious things.

I assume it's normal, I have never considered otherwise tbh

She does that sometimes too which like you say is quite funny, its the shouting which puzzles me as she can be so loud and I worry she will wake our other 2 children...!
