dream on
"Keep on wishing"
Dream on is a dismissive response to something unrealistic or unlikely to happen—equivalent to "keep dreaming" or "that's never going to happen." It mocks wishful thinking: You think she'll go out with you? Dream on.
The phrase implies the other person is deluded to expect such an outcome.
