Maybe the DMT causes our dreams? Anybody who has tripped knows that dreams are just another hallucinatory experience. Wouldn't surprise me at all if we found out they were caused by our own bodies creating an hallucinogen.

After all, it wasn't that long ago that we discovered Endorphins, which are addictive drugs in their own right.

    The reason we suspect the pineal gland is cause it has all the ingredients..

    Which it also needs to produce the sleep molecule melatonin. Which is a triptomine.

    The theory is that it shifts over to producing a large amount of dmt twice, at birth, and at death. (If i recall correctly)
