to be absent-minded · to be dreaming · to be unrealistic
Ever find yourself staring out the window, completely lost in thought, while everyone else is talking about deadlines? 😅 This expression is perfect for describing someone who's a bit dreamy, distracted, or just not paying attention to what's happening around them. Sometimes it's a sweet, imaginative state, other times it means being a little out of touch with reality. ✨
💡 **Pro-Tip!** While it often implies daydreaming, 'to have your head in the clouds' can also subtly suggest someone is being a bit impractical or unrealistic. So, you might use it gently if a friend is making grand plans without considering the details, or playfully if they're just spacing out! Don't use it to seriously criticize someone's intelligence; it's more about their focus or practicality. 😉
