Despite being melodically familiar, Oneirotonic may be the most harmonically complex of the 13edo scales; the most common consonant triad is a fairly complex 4:9:21. The availability of primes also varies greatly by mode: for example, only Dylathian, Ilarnekian and Sarnathian have a 5/4 on the tonic, and only Mnarian, Kadathian, Hlanithian and Sarnathian have an 11/8 on the tonic,
Like in archaeotonic, seconds and thirds are similar in consonance to 12edo seconds and thirds, and similarly sixths and sevenths are similar to diatonic sixths and sevenths. Minor 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 which are common in oneirotonic.
