Idealism refers to any philosophy that argues that reality is somehow dependent upon the mind rather than independent of it. More extreme versions will deny that the "world" even exists outside of our minds.

Idealism
Unrealistic idealism refers to having overly optimistic or perfectionist beliefs about how things should be in an unrealistic or impractical way. This can lead to disappointment, frustration, or overlooking practical limitations or challenges in achieving those ideals.
Plato is the founder of idealism
I'm not sure if you are trying to define this for a class, so I may not have the definition you are looking for. However, just going by logic and the basic definitions of the words, I can give you the following: Something unrealistic is not real or practical. Idealism is the pursuit of noble principles. Therefore I would think that unrealistic idealism would be principles, ideas, goals, etc. too far-fetched and lofty to achieve in the real world.
Your idealism is refreshing!
5 features of idealism
Absolute idealism is the philosophy which affirms that fundamental reality is an all-embracing spiritual unity.
Purposeful idealism is when you are in pursuit of a higher cause, a noble cause. Naive idealism has no purpose other than to satisfy a person mindset.
This process is enhanced by the person's ethical idealism.
Idealism posits that reality is constructed and only properly understood through ideas. Since ideas are made by humans, it is an inherently internalist approach to viewing the world (that is, knowledge and justification come internally as opposed to the environment).
Idealism is the belief that doing good deeds will ultimately lead to a better world.
