I think you mean utopian?
"Utopian" in a negative meaning is used to discredit ideas as too advanced, too optimistic or unrealistic, impossible to realize. Hence, for example, the use by Marxists, of such expressions as "utopian socialism".

I think Korny and RS were right to suggest you may mean Utopian.
The great philosopher Plato imagined a city all the inhabitants of which have 'virtue', or a virtual city. Since such a place is practically impossible to exist the word virtual (that has virtue) became synonumous to imaginary, not real, non-existant, thus the wirds 'virtual environment' for instance.
And by that a utopian would be a person looking for perfection, or that believes the world can be a perfect (=virtual) place.
