Hope to have drive and energy in the morning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dream

'hope' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drive and energy in the morning' is the wordplay.
'drive' becomes 'dr' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'in the morning' becomes 'am'.
'dr'+'e'+'am'='DREAM'

'to have' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dream that I've seen before include "Part of sleep" , "Sleeping thoughts" , "Cherished hope; reverie" , "Cherished hope or ideal" , "Aspiration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
