"MDMA does not 'wake one up' but establishes a greater memory retention for those events existentially nurturing to one's happiness."
Indeed, though I would add that, in addition to increasing memory retention, it makes possible events that are themselves more existentially nurturing than one would normally experience.
The first experience on MDMA is often the most seratonin one has ever 'felt', which is to say it is often the 'happiest' one has ever felt (though it is a very specific kind of happiness).
The memory of that experience can set, if you will, a new bar for how 'good' life can be.
