be in the clouds

be in the clouds
(be (be up или have one's head) in the clouds)
витать в облаках; быть не от мира сего

Maybe it's good for me to be brought down to earth again. I had my head in the clouds, didn't I? (E. Caldwell, ‘Episode in Palmetto’, ch. IV) — Может быть, и неплохо для меня спуститься с небес на землю. А то ведь я до сих пор в облаках витаю.

I'm so practical, a little too solid perhaps, while you are, and always will be, in the clouds. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Green Years’, book III, ch. 7) — Я такая практичная, быть может, даже слишком. А ты, ты всегда будешь человеком не от мира сего.
