ONEIROS, a personification of dream, and in the plural of dreams. According to Homer, Dreams dwell on the dark shores of the western Oceanus (Od. xxiv. 12 ). The deceitful dreams would come through an ivory gate, while the true ones issue from a gate made of horn. (Od. xix. 562, &c.) Hesiod (Theog. 212) calls dreams the children for the children of night, and Ovid (Met. xi. 633), who calls them children of Sleep, mentions three of them by name: Morpheus, Icelus or Phobetor, and Phantasos. Euripides called them sons of Gaea, and conceived them as genii with black wings.

Oneiros is a powerfull Mage, (White Mage) ruler of the Dreams and Desires of all mortals.

oneirophrenia 

Oneirophrenia is a hallucinatory, dream-like, state caused by several conditions such as prolonged sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, or drugs (such as ibogaine).

It has some of the characteristics of simple schizophrenia, such as a confusional state and clouding of consciousness, but without presenting the dissociation symptoms which are typical of this disorder.
Persons affected by oneirophrenia have a feeling of dream-like unreality which in its extreme form may progress to delusions and hallucinations. Therefore, it is considered a schizophrenia-like acute form of psychosis which remits in about 60% of cases within a period of two years. It is estimated that 50% or more of schizophrenic patients present oneirophrenia at least once.
