in your dreams

Never, no matter how much you wish for it. Often put as an interjection, this slangy term dates only from the 1980s but has quickly caught on. For example, “I just know they’ll win the pennant this year.—In your dreams!” A synonymous phrase is dream on, used as the title of a number of popular songs dating back as far as the 1950s and a television sit-com.
