Fond aspirations (6)
I believe the answer is:
dreams
'fond aspirations' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for dreams that I've seen before include "Thoughts and visions during sleep" , "Fantasy ambitions" , "Reveries or cherished aspirations" , "'We are such stuff / As dreams are made on' (The Tempest)" , "'''We are such stuff as ... are made on'' The Tempest (6)'" .)
