cloudland
Daydreamer's imaginary domain
Cloudland is an imaginary realm in the sky or clouds—a place of fantasy, dreams, or wishful thinking.
Someone with their head in cloudland is lost in daydreams or unrealistic thoughts: She's off in cloudland again, planning her perfect wedding.
The word suggests pleasant but impractical reverie, detached from earthly concerns.
