Jamie Posted February 16, 2004 at 04:57 AM Report Posted February 16, 2004 at 04:57 AM I've been trying to find what would be a reasonable equivalent to the term 'pipe dream'. The definition of pipe dream in English is: 1. the dreams brought about by the smoking of opium 2. a fantasic or illusory hope or plan. I did find the term 'a pipe dream' in the Clavis Sinica dictionary: yìchángchūnmèng ...however I'd prefer something more like 'opium dream' - yāpiànmèng. Also is it possible to translate 'pipe dreamer'? Does anyone have any better ideas? I'm fairly new at this. Quote
