bleared

'dim' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sighted king in bed' is the wordplay.
'sighted king' becomes 'lear' (King Lear. I am not sure about the 'sighted' bit.).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'lear' going inside 'bed' is 'BLEARED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bleared that I've seen is " blurred".)
