Revery
Revery is when ideas float in our mind without reflection or regard of the understanding.
Locke.
Sit in revery, and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle sea-shore of the mind.
Longfellow.
To lose one’s self in revery, one must be either very happy or very unhappy. Revery is the child of extreme.
Rivarol.
Revery, which is thought in its nebulous state, borders closely upon the land of sleep, by which it is bounded as by a natural frontier.
Victor Hugo.
