It is something that appears to have substance but then disappears like a puff of smoke. Or more effectively, like the Dreams one has when under the influence of "The Pipe" (Opium Pipe). Pure Fantasy! http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pipe%20dream Nov 22 07, 6:05 PM

Pipe Dream is a puzzle game developed in 1989 by The Assembly Line for the Amiga as Pipe Mania. It was ported to several other platforms by LucasFilm Games, who gave it the name Pipe Dream and acted as general distributors for the US. In this game, the player must connect randomly appearing pieces of pipe on a grid to a given length within a limited time. This game was ported to several platforms such as the Atari ST, Acorn Archimedes, Acorn Electron, BBC micro, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Game Boy, Macintosh, NES, as well as both DOS and Windows 3.1. The Windows version of the game was included in the MS Windows Entertainment Pack. In 1990 it was released as an arcade game by Japanese manufacturer Video System Co. Ltd., though with slightly altered gameplay, giving the player the task to connect a source and drain with the random pipe pieces. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Dream_(video_game) Nov 22 07, 11:50 PM
