Pipe dream

Pipe dream refers to visions experienced as a result of taking opiates (referring to the opium pipe). Opiates do not directly cause hallucinations of any kind, but large doses may cause the subject to become so relaxed that they experience dreams while partially awake; dreams which can be so vivid as to be confused with reality.

"Pipe dream" is also used as a term to describe a vain but fervent hope for an impossible or unlikely situation.
