"The poem operates by a kind of fairy logic: mesmerizing, oneiric [oˈnɪərɪk], enchanted, with language that surprises and clauses that seem to magnetically adhere." — Verity Spott, The New York Times, 13 Apr. 2023

oneiric [oˈnɪərɪk]
adj

an adj meaning "of or relating to dreams."

The notion of using the Greek noun oneiros (meaning "dream") to form the English adjective oneiric wasn't dreamed up until the mid-19th century.

In the 17th century, English speakers also melded Greek oneiros with the combining form ­-mancy ("divination") to create oneiromancy, meaning "divination by means of dreams."
