The darker, damper, more "minory" cousin of archaeotonic. Only 2 out of 8 oneirotonic modes (Dylathian and Ilarnekian) are "major" in the sense of having a major third, and both sound pretty bittersweet.

Like in archaeotonic, seconds and thirds are similar in consonance to 12edo seconds and thirds, and similarly cothirds and coseconds are similar to diatonic sixths and sevenths. Perfect fourths (21/16) are dissonant, but they work a lot like diatonic perfect fourths do e.g. in "sus24" chords that resolve down to thirds, and can also be spread out to make convincing 4:9:21 chords.
