fantasize
Picture the impossible
Fantasize means to imagine something desirable, often something unlikely or impossible.
The word frequently implies sexual daydreaming: He fantasized about his coworker.
But fantasizing can be about any wish: She fantasized about quitting her job and moving to Paris.
The tone often suggests the vision is impractical or self-indulgent.
