Comments on the clue
1.'Dream' is used in the same sense for wordplay and def., so not very cryptic
2.Not really a close enough homophone to lead to 'boat', 'we hear' unnecessary for definition.
3.Almost a great clue but 'catch' (kach) and 'ketch' (kech) are not homophones (unless using a thick powsh accent).
