I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'an apparently agreeable place' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'out?' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for land of nod that I've seen before include "Where Cain went after killing Abel" , "Where Cain was banished after killing Abel" , "Dropping-off place" , "21 [CAIN] sent here" , "Imaginary place of sleep" .)
