Day-dreaming, or something more visceral? In my mind, the former implies some measure of indolence, which is not really captured in the idea of singing (regardless of audience). I've recently interpreted it as Weiss singing, by herself, in her mansion, in something like a holodeck, because the notion of her performing in public has security concerns (I've no real objection to this, mind you, and a year ago this would have been my answer too), and we've got some hints of performance anxiety from her, which may admittedly be limited to combat. Singing to herself, to feel less neglected (I don't think she's really been abused, save maybe verbally. Too much nth-hand exposure to bad HP fic, notwithstanding I've never read any of the bad stuff.), and stave off loneliness. And the battle would be entirely metaphorical, a visualization of mental distress.
