Found one study on aquatic mammals (not directly relevant to turtles): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8211436/. I still don't really know how to interpret it, but it offers some reasonable approaches to the question I think.

Jack made M$14!
Reptiles passing through REM on the way to slow-wave sleep makes me lean towards 'yes'.

I look forward to the ensuing "what is a dream, tho?" debate quickly descending into angry opines on the ontological status of qualia.

REM sleep seems correlated but not the same as dreaming though - in humans, dreaming can but does not always happen during REM sleep.
I like the working definition of "what is a dream" from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8211436/ : "patterns of neural activity, predominately within the cerebral cortex, that form transient imagery, experienced as conscious thought, that can be considered mental representations (Morgan, 2014), occurring during physiologically defined sleep". Not sure about the conscious thought part, but patterns of neural activity that form transient imagery during sleep sounds like a pretty reasonable starting point.

Una volta che avrai
spiccato il volo, deciderai.
Sguardo verso il ciel saprai:
lì a casa il cuore sentirai.
