I dream about respect (6)
I believe the answer is:
admire
'respect' is the definition.
(admiring is a kind of respecting)
'i dream about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'dream'='idream'
'idream' is an anagram of 'ADMIRE'.
(Other definitions for admire that I've seen before include "Esteem. value" , "Look at (someone or something) with pleasure" , "Have respect for, esteem" , "put on a pedestal" , "Have high regard for, think well of" .)
