A "pipe dream" refers to an extremely unrealistic or overly optimistic and ambitious idea or hope. It is something that is very unlikely to happen – or even impossible to achieve. The term originates from the 19th century and is linked to the use of opium pipes, particularly in opium dens. When people smoked opium, they often experienced euphoric, fantastical visions or dreams that had no basis in reality. These visions were described as "pipe dreams" because they were induced by smoking from a pipe and were not grounded in the real world. Hence, the term evolved to refer to any far-fetched or unattainable goal or wish.
An example could be my home club winning the Champions League, or indeed some specific men getting a decently attractive, kind gf.
