Dream about safe saint (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fantasise

'dream' is the definition.
('dream'->'fantasize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'about safe saint' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'safe'+'saint'='safesaint'
'safesaint' anagrammed gives 'FANTASISE'.

(Other definitions for fantasise that I've seen before include "Indulge in imagination unrestricted by reality" , "Imagine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
