Hi,
I understand your concern.
Sleep talking usually is not a serious problem. It is also called somniloquy. It might happen when the person is really stressed, very tired or has gone through a nightmare.
Again, this is not serious unless he will harm himself.
If this episodes will keep repeating and getting worse, then, should consult further with a psychologist.
All the best.
