    Smile lost in reverie

    He was lost in reverie and forgot to have dinner.


    I wonder whether lost in reverie means lost in deep thought/medication or lost in fantasy/magical thinking. Thanks.

    I wonder whether lost in reverie means lost in deep thought more of a dream /medication
    (! 'medication' is something else) or lost in fantasy/magical thinking dream-like, as I said, but not actively thinking. Thanks.
    Associated with the French rêver (to dream).
