What about the dream molecule, dimethyltryptamine?

I think we enjoy certain activities much more than others, some activities just fill us up with so much joy that we cannot fathom how precisely it took an effect on our composure. Some joy can produce such a good tide of feelings towards your activity you've chosen to involve yourself in because you wished to derive joy from the activity itself.
As if the activity was such a fun thing to do that you couldn't remember anyone else ever revealing such a joyous miracle that you could never have yourself predicted, but which makes you feel extremely happy that you could relish in the joy of your discovering it. As if the activity could never be forgotten because it left an imprint on you, as if you cannot ignore the imprint no matter how much you wish to never accept that you acknowledged it, as if you were trying to pretend you never even acknowledged that I first brought it up, as if you would never wish for me to speak of how this activity was the greatest activity in the entire world. Some activities are naturally much more fun than others, as if people won't want to join in any of your activity and instead go to mine, as if mine was automatically declared superior and thus everyone wished to know what activity I consist in.
But that's why we don't get involved in some activities and do for others, because some of them are just too tempting to resist occupying the activity with them in order to gain an immense pleasure you previously denied yourself, as if you couldn't accept something you knew you never deserved to even see, something which you couldn't see if you tried to, as if even if you tried to view it you really didn't see it. Since you wouldn't ever be prone to be inclined to be joined in an activity where you weren't wanted, where the person who created the activity will purposely try to tell you to join a different activity. As if for the sheer fact of leading you into activity you didn't want to engage in, as if you were engaged in acknowledging an activity you never created yourself.
As if you couldn't have created as great an activity as this no matter how much you wished, but the desire for you to tell your friends all about this activity will also be an urge you cannot suppress.

Are you talking about the sex hormone?
And what about stimulus motivations? Why do people sky dive? A Personal might voluntarily sky dive, appraise the situation as harmful, and simultaneously become physiologically aroused. Because of brain activity in the amygdala - a fear response. Yet a person will still voluntarily sky dive? And we will voluntarily watch terrifying movies.
I think we live fore more than dopamine and serotonin.
And when the sky diver has landed and his level of arousal has returned to normal he may feel dopamine and serotonin. He may feel good may he not?
There are many variables here.
A lot of enjoyment belongs to each person's appraisal on a matter. One person might appraise spiders as frightening; insistent on killing them. Another person might feel love and curiosity when approaching a spider.

Actually I'm not entirely convinced of this. I think humans are part chemical instinct and part dream, neither leads but they both influence each other.
