The Stuff is a science fiction short story by Henry Slesar, first published in 1961. It follows Andy Hills, a man paralyzed from an accident, who is given a drug called Senopoline that allows him to live out his dreams in a vivid dream state. As he excels in various pursuits and becomes a celebrated figure, the story raises ethical questions about the nature of reality versus illusion and the value of tangible achievements compared to dream fulfillment.
