Definition
幻梦 is a literary noun meaning 'an illusory dream' or 'a fantasy'. It emphasizes the fleeting, unreal nature of a dream or hope, often used in poetic or metaphorical contexts. Unlike the everyday word 幻觉 (hallucination) or 白日梦 (daydream), 幻梦 carries a softer, more wistful tone — something beautiful but impossible to grasp.
