Crossword Genius

Imagine being armed, possibly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dream

'imagine' is the definition.
(dreaming is a kind of imagining)

'armed possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'armed' is an anagram of 'DREAM'.

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dream that I've seen before include "Reverie or nightmare" , "person to good to be true" , "Sleeping thoughts" , "Vision, fantasy" , "Nocturnal vision" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
