'in a daze read out with an exclamation of surprise' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'read out with an exclamation of surprise' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'an exclamation of surprise' becomes 'my'.
'read' anagrammed gives 'drea'.
'drea'+'my'='DREAMY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dreamy that I've seen before include "Fantastic" , "Gorgeous (informal)" , "Unreal -- gorgeous" , "Descriptive of the music of a nocturne" , "quite impractical" .)
