fancifully
In dreamlike fashion
Fancifully means in an imaginative or whimsical way, often departing from reality or practicality.
Someone who fancifully imagines a future is indulging in pleasant but unlikely scenarios: She fancifully pictured herself living in a castle.
The word can also suggest decorative elaboration: The garden was fancifully designed with winding paths and hidden alcoves.
