Quotation for Ecclesiastes 5:2
כִּ֛י בָּ֥א הַחֲל֖וֹם בְּרֹ֣ב עִנְיָ֑ן וְק֥וֹל כְּסִ֖יל בְּרֹ֥ב דְּבָרִֽים׃
For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; And a fool’s voice through a multitude of words.
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
Literally, "A dream comes with too much activity." This could refer to unrealistic ambition, fantasy which is encouraged by narrow-minded involvement with all the activity, or any other kind of loss of contact with hard reality.
