Canter around in a dream (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trance

'a dream' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'canter around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'canter' with letters rearranged gives 'TRANCE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trance that I've seen before include "state of mind" , "Deep sleeplike state" , "Canter into suspended animation" , "Reverie" , "Dream-like state" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
