One of the common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's is REM Behavior Disorder (RBD). Symptoms typically included vivid dreams, acting out dreams (movement which can include hitting and punching) and vocalization (which includes talking, shouting or screaming). If you really think it's a problem, (hurting himself or someone else or preventing sleep) you should speak to his doctor about it because there are meds available.
