One who leads a life of dreamy, indolent ease (5-5)

I believe the answer is:

lotus-eater

(Other definitions for lotus-eater that I've seen before include "One given to indulgence in pleasure and luxury" , "One indulging in pleasure and luxury, as described in Homer's Odyssey" , "One living indolently - mythical person met by Odysseus in North Africa" , "Indolent person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
