Ideal way to get up with energy in the morning (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dream

'ideal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'way to get up with energy in the morning' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'rd' (short for road).
'to get up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mcd).
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (AM on a clock).
'rd' reversed gives 'dr'.
'dr'+'e'+'am'='DREAM'

(Other definitions for dream that I've seen before include "Fantasise, imagine" , "Aspiration" , "Bedroom vision?" , "Trance" , "Perfect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
