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

Inhibits its patterned formation and continuation; doesn’t inhibit it from forming at all.

  I'd be open to that but a lot of literature on the internet basically says something to the effect of it prevents dreaming

    I’m not sure what literature on the Internet says, but its not what I learned in my sleep medicine rotation. shrug

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.

  Based only on what you wrote, I see two possible factors: taking a break from weed, or being on a school trip to the U.S.

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.
