What is the meaning of Blue sky thinking?

What is the meaning of Blue sky thinking?
ok this is just a thought.
Blue Sky Thinking means when you think you making a good thought but people can see right through your thought.
Just like at night when you can see right throught the atmosphere to the moon and stars.


Good idea, but not the way it is usually used.
Blue sky thinking is thinking that doesn't have a particular goal.
So it is not thinking to solve a problem, it is just thinking for the sake of ideas.
There is no ceiling, it can go anywhere.
Universities talk about blue skies research.
This is research which aims to find things out 'just because'.
Contrast with research to find out the answer to something or solve a problem e.g. find the cure for an illness, or a better way to make a car tyre or something.

I disagree. I believe it has to do with the care free unrestricted pursuit of a goal. To takle a problem intuitively and inspired. Without goal or just because is pointless and far from my understanding.
