Is wood breaking into dreams? (6)
I believe the answer is:
ideals
'dreams?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is wood breaking' is the wordplay.
'wood' becomes 'deal' (deal is a kind of wood).
'breaking' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'is' going around 'deal' is 'IDEALS'.
'into' is the link.
(Other definitions for ideals that I've seen before include "High values for ladies" , "Bad ladies have high principles" , "Standards of perfection" , "Lofty aspirations for ladies" , "Models; principles" .)
