People often use clouds as a way of representing how they feel.
When people are happy, extatic, pleased, they say they are on cloud 9.
When people are troubled, depressed, worried, it is said they are clouded over or under a cloud.
When people are out of touch with reality, they are described as being up in the clouds.
When people are confused, muddled, they are defined as cloudy.
So people seem to conjure up a cloud above their head whether they are cheery, gloomy, detached or perplexed.
