The term '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') is used for the 8-note MOS structure [[5L 3s]], whose brightest mode is LLsLLsLs. The name "oneirotonic" was coined by [[Cryptic Ruse]] after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos. Oneirotonic is a distorted diatonic, because it has one extra small step compared to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]).

The generator size ranges from 450¢ (3\8) to 480¢ (2\5). Hence any edo with an interval between 450¢ and 480¢ has an oneirotonic scale. [[13edo]] is the smallest edo with a (non-degenerate) 5L3s oneirotonic scale and thus is the most commonly used oneirotonic tuning.
