=== Pseudo-diatonic/maqam modal theory ===
Oneirotonic is often used as distorted diatonic. Because distorted diatonic modal and functional harmony requires a recognizable classical major third, the following theory essentially assumes an [[A-Team]] tuning (or possibly a [[neji]] approximation of it), i.e. a generator with size between 5\13 and 7\18.

The brighter modes can be viewed as providing a distorted version of diatonic functional harmony. For example, in the Dylathian mode, the 4:5:9 triad on the sixth degree can sound like both "V" and "III of iv" depending on context. Basic chord progressions can move by minor fourths, thirds, or major seconds: for example, J major-M minor-P minor-Ob major-J major (in Ilarnekian) or J major-K major-O major-M major-J major (in Dylathian).
