Reverie

I was wondering how to translate "Träumerei" into English. Consulting the dictionary, I discovered the German word is accurately reflected in these meanings of the English term reverie:

1. a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing: lost in reverie.

2. a daydream.

3. a fantastic, visionary, or impractical idea: reveries that will never come to fruition.

4. Music. an instrumental composition of a vague and dreamy character.
