I really don’t drink that much so this may not count, but when I take Imitrex (a prescription drug for migraine headaches) I have vivid, movie-like dreams. Imitrex makes the blood vessels in the head expand, allowing blood to pass through more easily. That leads me to conclude that better circulation results in more vivid dreams. If alcohol has a similar effect, whether it thins the blood or expands the blood vessels, we just might be on to something :). I could be totally wrong too, because I don’t know offhand the effect of drinking alcohol on the circulatory system.  
Anyone?

I dream entire movies all the time - great dialogue, great plot and setting…too bad I can’t remember them halfway in the morning. And I don’t drink hardly anything, if at all. So I don’t know if maybe there’s already enough blood going through my brain or if the amount of it doesn’t really matter and it’s just something that occurs.
