Oneiric:

of, relating to, or suggestive of dreams [Merriam-Webster]

Noted in “Karmalink review: An intriguing mix of Buddhism and nanotech,” Davide Abbatescianni, NewScientist (18 September 2021):

To record Leng Heng’s dreams and discover the secrets of his past lives, Srey Leak steals Leng Heng’s sister’s AUGR (short for “augmented reality”), a sort of forehead microchip that works through the injection of special “nanobugs”. During his oneiric explorations, Leng Heng meets Vattanak Sovann (Sahajak Boonthanakit), a neuroscientist and the inventor of the Connectome, a mysterious device containing “a digital replica of one’s consciousness” that can open “a path to enlightenment” through neural connections with the user’s past lives.
