Peer Review 616

Welcome to our friendly competition to compose a cryptic clue to be judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like. Everyone is welcome, particularly new entrants. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help, or to ask another entrant to parse their clue. However, please don't comment on the merit of a particular clue before voting opens. Clues should be posted before 12 noon (UK time) on Friday the 27th of October, when voting opens. Voting closes at 6 pm (UK time) the same day.

Entrants should vote for their favourite clue, indicating that entrant's name and clue number. The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition. The setter has the deciding vote in the event of a tie. The setter will declare the winner and award an online prize.

This week's challenge is:

DREAMY

Have fun and good luck!

Future setters should note that a complete list of words used previously in Clueless, Peer Review and Weekend Peer Review is available here https://tinyurl.com/4dzss5np

…but wait, there’s a bonus challenge!!

“What comes fourth in the sequence?”

The three words starting with today’s PR, followed by WPR and Clueless create a sequence which must be completed by a fourth word.

You may submit suggestions for this word at any stage from now until voting closes for Clueless next Wednesday.

Chambers is the sole reference and provides only one acceptable single word answer.
