<p>Acetylcholine plays an important role during REM Sleep. I cite an <a href="https://cogsci.stackexchange.com/a/12257/370">answer</a> to the question "Why do dreams lose clarity quickly over time after we awaken?":</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Activity in the PFC during sleep may be modulated by levels of acetylcholine, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>See references and links there. Nicotine also binds to ACh receptors.</p>

<p>Are there studies on the effect of nicotine patches worn while sleeping on dream vividness and dream recall? </p>

Here's the only one that's easy to find in google scholar, but there might be more:
