ideals

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

'dream of' is the definition.
'ideals' can be an answer for 'dream' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'of' bit.

'naughty ladies men' is the wordplay.
'ladies' anagrams to 'IDEALS'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ideals that I've seen before include "They're perfect" , "Lofty aspirations for ladies" , "Fine aspirations for ladies" , "Moral standards" , "Ideas regarded as perfect or standards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
