Default Tortoise....dreaming?

I have a young RFT named Molly. Since I have had her(1.5 years) she will always make these little noises while she sleeps, and wiggle her tail and feet. Are tortoises capable of dreaming?

If you are capable of thought you are capable of dreaming ........ animals can think as they decide what to do and when they want to do it ....... so in theory that would say they can dream ........

Other animals dream, dogs, cats, even rodents ........ so I feel confident in saying that reptiles can too .......... my beardie deffo has a bit of a fidget etc when asleep ........ not sure about the torts as they dig theirselves in for the night

I doubt there is any scientific evidence to back up the theory .... there is with dogs ............ not sure about other animals
