I take it that you are referring to its use in Greek Mythology.
a, relating or belonging to Dionysus
b, devoted to the worship of Dionysus.
Dionysus, also known as Bacchus, is the God of Wine, also the inspirer of madness.
As I'm reading about world war one and German culture, the word Dionysian was referenced many times. From my understanding, it refers to using techniques (like dancing or music) or intoxicants (drugs, alchohol) to supress inhibitions and artificial social constraints.
