Daydream
Daydream (/ˈdeɪdriːm/), also known as a reverie, is a short-term detachment from one's immediate surroundings, during which a person's contact with reality is blurred and partially substituted by a visionary fantasy, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions, imagined as coming to pass, and experienced while awake.
Etymology
The term "daydream" is derived from the Middle English word dægdrēam, which literally means "day's dream". It was first recorded in the 13th century.
