What sounds like a scream could also be an episode of “exploding head syndrome” (the most hilariously dramatically named relatively mundane sleep phenomenon)
I’ve experienced it a handful of times in my life and it is very startling! Especially the 2 times where it sounded like someone shouting my name from inside my skull. Brains are so weird
It’s not unusual to have brief hallucinations right before falling asleep. It’s happened to me on occasion. That’s another possible explanation.

Just got one the other night, first time in ages. Sounds exactly like a shotgun going off.
