One consumed by fear had visions (7)
I believe the answer is:
dreamed
'had visions' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with creating things as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'one consumed by fear' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'me' (a setter might use 'one' to humourously mean 'me').
'consumed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters get consumed).
'fear' becomes 'dread' (synonyms).
'me' inserted within 'dread' is 'DREAMED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dreamed that I've seen before include "Had a vision" , "suffered delusions" , "Fantasised" , "Had fantasies" , "Imagined" .)
