Aid Merkel organised is fantastic (9)

I believe the answer is:

dreamlike

'fantastic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'aid merkel organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'aid'+'merkel'='aidmerkel'
'aidmerkel' anagrammed gives 'DREAMLIKE'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dreamlike that I've seen before include "Illusory" , "Imagined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
