梦里梦着梦不到的梦画里画着画不出的画
[mèng lĭ mèng zhe mèng bù dào de mèng huà lĭ huà zhe huà bù chū de huà]
A poetic and abstract statement suggesting someone who has unattainable or unrealistic dreams they can only experience in their imagination but cannot achieve or manifest fully. Similarly, it also applies to artistic expression, where what can be imagined might not always be possible to create with tangible materials or skills.
