Reverie

rev-er-ie (rĕvˈə-rē)

noun
1. An abstract state of musing.
It is a good idea to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy presences may haunt you in a reverie of suspended thought. - James Douglas
I keep slipping into this reverie, in which your chest and back and shoulders are big and strong again and full of air and life. In my reverie, you still live on Douglas Street and the ducks in Beacon Hill Park mock you with their laughter. I am beginning to prefer reverie to reality, for there you will always be.


Synonyms: absent-mindedness, abstraction, castles in the sky, contemplation, daydream, detachment, dream, fantasy, head trip, inattention, meditation, mind trip, musing, phantasy, thought, trance.
