English Idiom: Have your head in the clouds

Have you ever had your head in the clouds?

I’m sure you have, and if you haven’t, then I bet you have seen someone who did.

We’ve all been there.

Perhaps you were in an English language class in high school, and instead of paying attention to the lesson, you were looking out the window and daydreaming.

Or you may have gotten engrossed in something and were unaware of what was happening around you.

You could have concentrated on a university research paper so much that you lived with your head in the clouds until the paper was finished.

Understand now?


So, to sum it up, having your head in the clouds means you’re either lost in a daydream or so focused on something that you’re oblivious to your surroundings.


Got it?
