The saying 'wishful thinking' means when someone thinks of something or wishes that something will happen that is actually never going to happen in real life. It is when someone would like something to happen and not being realistic about it.
Example:
John wants to become a proffesional
football player. His older sister though thinks that he is very wishful thinking about that. (meaning that his sister thinks that it is never going to happen)

"Were" is used in wishful thinking to convey imaginary or hypothetical situations that are contrary to reality. It is used to indicate that the situation being described is not true or likely to happen. For example, "I wish I were taller" implies that the person is not actually taller, but they desire to be.
