blue-sky
Dreamily unrealistic thinking
Blue-sky as an adjective describes something impractical, theoretical, or unconstrained by reality: blue-sky thinking, blue-sky research.
The image is of gazing at open sky rather than at what's in front of you.
In finance, blue-sky laws regulate securities to protect investors from fraudulent schemes—offerings with nothing behind them but blue sky.
