Unreal view of a space station for a time (6)
I believe the answer is:
mirage
'unreal view' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
I also know that 'unreal' relates to this answer.
'a space station for a time' is the wordplay.
'a space station' becomes 'mir'.
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'a time' becomes 'age' (age is a kind of time).
'mir'+'age'='MIRAGE'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mirage that I've seen before include "Illusion caused by atmospheric refraction" , "vision" , "fighter craft" , "Optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions" , "illusory thing" .)
