It's not as tightly correlated as the per capita cheese consumption is with the number of people who die by becoming entangled in their own bedsheets. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

See, I do agree with you.

But someone told me cheese gives you vivid dreams, and I have begun to notice it myself (granted, anecdotal. Also probably just confirmation bias).

I'm really confused, why is the average person only eating 1.5 ounces of cheese per day?!?!

Because, clearly, you are not doing your share of cheese consumption. Some people don't eat any at all, so you obviously need to bump your consumption way up in order to drive that average upwards.
