Reverie

Reverie is a word that I like very much. Most likely because it is derived from a french word, rever, "to dream". My mother is French. Among the definitions, one is "to Daydream". Others are: "a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing", "a fantastic, visionary, or impractical idea" and "an instrumental composition of a vague and dreamy character". Incidentally, the definitions that I am using are from dictionary.com. 

At this point in the conversation (with myself, so far) I believe that the word Daydream is still appropriate. I will use reverie and fantasy when I feel that it might clarify a specific thought. For me, as I have previously stated, fantasy connotes something frivolous or sexual. I think that for me reverie will connote those thought paths that are some what foggier and perhaps more spiritual, less grounded in terrestrial life. I hope that I will arrive at some better connotations as I go along, but , this is a start.
