another word for the day, "oneiric"

oneiric \oh-NY-rik\ adjective: Of, pertaining to, or suggestive of dreams; dreamy.

Some -- not all -- of Caravaggio's painting uniquely compels you to grope for words in order to describe the optical novelty and disturbing immediacy of the images. They're at once coldly precise, voluptuously real and strangely oneiric. --Peter Robb, "Candid camera," [2]The Guardian, October 20, 2001 _________________________________________________________

Oneiric comes from Greek oneiros, "dream."
