老师,我在搜寻这个句子过程中,发现张满胜之前在微博的解释。和您之前的说法似乎是吻合的,摘录如下:

 牛津词典有疏漏(虽说which定语从句可以单独成句),这里分号应改为逗号:
a. The trip was magical, the stuff of which dreams are made.
本句与莎士比亚这句有关:We are such stuff/As dreams are made on。
注意这里不能看成the stuff of which或the stuff of which dreams,而应该这样断句:
the stuff /of which/ dreams are made。
the stuff是the trip的同位语,它后接定语从句of which dreams are made,然后of被提前:which dreams are made of.
因此,a句可以改为:
b1. The trip was magical.
b2. The trip was the stuff which dreams are made of.
此外还要注意这里时态关系: was/ are。

The trip was magical; the stuff of which dreams are made

the stuff of which dreams are made为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句,关系代词which指代前面名词trip并在非限制性从句作介词of的宾语, the stuff of which在非限制性定语从句作“主语补足语成分”。把非限制性定语从句改为一个并列句就是下面的句子。

(1)The trip was magical and the dreams are made the stuff of the trip.(被动语态结构;即主语+be  made+主补)

(2)The trip was magical and one makes the dreams the stuff of the trip.(主动语态结构;即主语+make +宾语+宾补)

备注:也有人会把the stuff of which dreams are made分析为“of which dreams are made=the stuff (which/that) dreams are made of ”为定语从句修饰名词“the stuff”;即认为介词of是与后面的动词made ,构成搭配:即A be made of B=A是由B组成/构成,即完整结构the stuff(关系代词which省略) dreams are made of ,并把在定语从句作宾语的stuff分析为the trip的同位语成分。
