Skip page, dream time away (6)
I believe the answer is:
prance
'skip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'page dream time away' is the wordplay.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'dream' becomes 'trance' (I've seen this in other clues).
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'away' suggests deleting specific letters.
'trance' with 't' taken out is 'rance'.
'p'+'rance'='PRANCE'
(Other definitions for prance that I've seen before include "(Of horse) use high steps" , "Frolic" , "Swagger, cavort" , "Skip around like a horse" , "Caper, swagger" .)
