| Quotes |
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.
-- John Simon, "Walking Redundancy," New York, June 23, 1969 |
| Origin |
| Oneiric comes 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. It entered English in the 1850s. |
