Rest can transform dazes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trances

'dazes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'rest can transform' is the wordplay.
'transform' indicates an anagram.
'rest'+'can'='restcan'
'restcan' with letters rearranged gives 'TRANCES'.

(Other definitions for trances that I've seen before include "Recants (anag.)" , "what half-conscious people experience?" , "Hypnotic states" .)

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