'one who imagines' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'red mare running around' is the wordplay.
'running around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'mare'='redmare'
'redmare' with letters rearranged gives 'DREAMER'.
