Porque só ela tem significados que remetem a delirantes sonhos bons...e música.
 
 
Reverie:

2. a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream:a knock on the door broke her reverie [mass noun]:I slipped into reverie (Oxford Dictionary)

Origin: early 17th century: from obsolete French resverie, from Old French reverie 'rejoicing, revelry', from rever 'be delirious', of unknown ultimate origin (Oxford Dictionary)
 
"Thought is the labor of the intellect, reverie it's pleasure". (Victor Hugo)
 
"Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind." (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
 
"His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before. He saw her urge her vanities, her fine dress and sash and long black stockings, and knew that he had yielded to them a thousand times. Yet a voice within him spoke above the noise of his dancing heart, asking him would he take her gift to which he had only to stretch out his hand." (James Joice, "A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man")
