'kitted up' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with ownership as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'dream fight' is the wordplay.
'fight' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'fighting' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'dream' with letters rearranged gives 'ARMED'.

'for a' acts as a link.
