==Etymology==
French rêverie, from Middle French, delirium, from resver, rever to wander, be delirious
*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_Century 1654]
==Definitions==
*1 : daydream
*2 : the condition of [[being]] lost in [[thought]]
==Description==
'''Reverie''' or daydream is a [[visionary]] [[fantasy]] [[experienced]] while [[awake]], especially one of [[happy]], [[pleasant]] [[thoughts]], [[hopes]] or [[ambitions]]. There are so many [[different]] [[types]] of daydreams that there is still no [[consensus]] definition amongst [[psychologists]]. While daydreams may include [[fantasies]] about [[future]] [[scenario]]s or [[plans]], [[reminiscence]]s about [[past]] [[experiences]], or vivid [[dream]]-like images, they are often [[connected]] with some [[type]] of [[emotion]].
While daydreaming has long been derided as a lazy, non-productive pastime, daydreaming can be constructive in some [[contexts]]. There are numerous examples of people in [[creative]] or artistic [[careers]], such as composers, novelists and filmmakers, [[developing]] new [[ideas]] through daydreaming. Similarly, [[research]] [[scientists]], [[mathematicians]] and [[physicists]] have [[developed]] new [[ideas]] by daydreaming about their subject areas.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daydream]
