Dreamy.
"Dreamy" can be attractive, or otherworldly.
Dreams only take a moment, some say. "Dream big," others say.
Let ideas float and flit, dreamlike, through your waking and sleeping. You don't need to catch them all.

Real and good
Every choice you make should be made consciously, thoughtfully, for real and good reasons.

"I can do better next time."
If something goes wrong—car breaks down, electric bill isn't paid, yard flooded... What can be changed to help prevent it in the future?
One needs the ability to calmly look back and see what (if anything) they contributed to the failure.
I could say "Fords always break down; the power company SUCKS; my yard is stupid." But it's better to think "I should check the oil more often; paying the bill early is better than waiting til the last minute; I need to clear that drain so the water can flow out."

Natural / unnatural combo
"A big part of natural learning is absorbing ideas and letting them swirl around in the background. They clarify. They form connections. If the subject comes up again in a few months, you may be surprised how differently you're looking at what you were wondering about."
Sometimes natural and unnatural things combine in surprising ways, and that can be a fun part of the swirl.

Layers
Many things have lots of layers.
"In-depth knowledge" is about knowing more than just the surface of an idea.

Simple and life changing
Unschooling is not as easy as some people think it is. It can be fun, and simple, and life changing, if it is done deeply and thoroughly.
