To be sure, it is easy to assume that in the domain of the illogical, the fantastic, the subconscious and oneiric, variety is inexhaustible, and that every new and slightly different juxtaposition of unrelated elements constitutes a new departure. Oneiric from the Greek word óneiros meaning "dream" and the suffix -ic, which forms adjectives from loanwords from Greek and Latin, as in metallic and poetic.
At night they watched the fireworks--fountains, spark-foaming rockets, yellow starbursts high over *land. That oneiric season.
- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow (1973)
