Correct! I gave you the points.

The next hint was going to be "I come out and play every night."

Thanks chili! The clue "what dreams are made of" made it pretty easy.

RonPaul already guessed it right - it's DMT (dimethyltryptamine). It is said to be responsible for your dreams, and it is also released when body is under heavy stress (such as birth and death). You can extract it from numerous things in nature (including human bodies and grass). It is highly illegal to possess it, but we all possess it. We are all guilty of a felony. Go figure.

Humans and other animals naturally seek out mind altering drugs. Prohibition is a crime against humanity.

Agreed. I read a paper once on the subject of animals and intoxication, and I found it interesting that they will seek out certain plants and rotten fruit strictly for the purpose of getting high. It said that we 'discovered' the art of intoxication by observing monkeys and birds eating certain fruits, and then have difficulty walking/flying. And that we discovered coffee by sheep going out of their way to eat the berries from a certain plant, and then acting highly erratic afterward.

I also read a paper by Ronald K. Siegal, and he said that along with sex, food, and sleep, intoxication is a basic, natural need in humans.

Ronald K. Siegal hypothesizes that, along with sex, food, and sleep, that intoxication is a basic, natural need in humans. He makes a strong case that recreational drug use is not just something that people like to do, it is something that humans require to survive.
