Pipedream


(Meaning)An unrealistic hope or fantasy.
(Origin)The allusion is to the dreams experienced by smokers of opium pipes. Opiates were widely used by the English literati in the 18th and 19th centuries. Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the best known users, and it would be difficult to claim that the imagery in surreal works like Kubla Khan owned nothing to opium. Lewis Carroll, although not known to be an opium user himself, makes clear allusions to drug use in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has his hero Sherlock Holmes visit an opium den - although that was for research rather than consumption. -source

i'm a big fan of fantasy. irrational things that free you to set your own scenario. first chapter until the very hanging end. i often place in the situation of discussing some issue and find myself talk about the absurd opinion which makes everybody else give that strange speechless look. i watch movie and while my mind slowly drowning into the story, the other side of my mind start to create the different version. like the different end and what if the actor didn't say that and what the story gonna be and stuffs like that. but don't think that i've make up into the other story because the origin isn't good and my mind try to make it better. the fact is the story was really good that i can make the fantasy version. the unrealist one.
i dream about the end of the earth but not the end of human history as an impact, not also human move into the -there're some possibilities to live- different planet like mars or jupiter. not the earth are demolishing itself like 2012 movie, it simply because our earth get smaller smaller and smaller every second and we, human without even realise it, start to pop out into the galaxy, floating around feeling free after loss the gravity, wandering for finding our own star to start over life. All the sparkling version of mine.
it drive me crazy how my mind work in a quirky way, change things into a whole lot differents.
it almost funny really.
