daydreamt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'was pleasantly distracted by natural' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'light' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'light' could be 'day' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'day' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'dreamt' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for daydreamt that I've seen is " Let one's thoughts wander".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
