I thought this was already well established with sodium butyrate. Eating hi maize resistant starch is a guaranteed way to give me super vivid, movie like dreams.

I get extremely vivid, coherent, controllable dreams after being drunk despite the accepted science saying drinking/alcohol inhibits dreams of the sleep state necessary I’ve met a few other people that said the same thing

  I get these if I stop smoking weed. Couldn't smoke during a school trip to the States years ago, two of the other people I shared a room with also smoked regularly, all three of us had fucked up vivid dreams for the entire week. I still remember the one on the first night all these years later. I remember vividly watching myself disintegrate while a nuke went off nearby while I was working on something at school. My dad's also said nicotine patches do the same thing while you're on them.

  I get weird, vivid dreams after drinking some wines. After a lot of experimentation, I narrowed it down to Lodi Zinfandels, which raises an interesting puzzle: Is it something in the soil, or are the local winemakers in some sort of competition to hotrod their wines?

  I’ve always heard that it inhibits REM (dream) sleep, but as it wears off, your body tries to make up for the lost dream sleep and you get the flood of crazy dreams right before you wake up.

What do you mean by movie like? I periodically have dreams in which I do not show up with characters, sometimes voice over narrative, and plots - is this what you mean. An ex-girlfriend of mine called them epic dreams.
