Pipe Dream...

pipes

Pipe dream. n. "A fantastic notion or vain hope".

Alluding to the fantasies induced by smoking an opium pipe, (this term has been used more loosely since the late 1800's).

e.g: "I have this pipe dream about winning an Olympic gold medal in the 100 m freestyle".

(That is but one of many)

So, What's YOUR pipe dream?

My pipe dream is to be able to employ a little bit of Leonard Cohen in my writing.

Famous Blue Raincoat? Isn't that by some Gorman-guy? Though I concede - they sound like they come from the same family tree.

I'm reading 'Beautiful Losers' now. You should get your hands on a copy - if you can't, I'll try to fix that.
