Ecclesiastes 5:7 Your Talk is Cheap; Like Your Daydreams

For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God. KJV
Talk is cheap, like daydreams 
and other useless activities. 
Fear God instead. NLT
Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. 
Therefore fear God. NIV
For, in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words abound; 
but fear thou God. YLT
For when dreams increase, 
empty words grow many: but do you fear God. RSV

"If, by the disturbed state of thy mind during the day, or by Satanic influence, thou dream of evil, do not give way to any unreasonable fears, or gloomy forebodings, of any coming mischief: 
- FEAR GOD. 
Fear neither the dream nor its interpretation; God, will take care of and protect thee." Adam Clarke 
 
"The words or arguments which you might think of using to justify yourself, are as vain as dreams." Thomas Coke 
 
"Daydreaming is the stream of consciousness that detaches from
current, external tasks when attention drifts to a more personal and internal direction. This phenomenon is common in people's daily life shown by a large-scale study in which participants spend 47% of their waking time on average on daydreaming.In the recent research, identified costs of daydreaming outnumber the potential benefits. Mooneyham and Schooler reviewed studies published from 1995 and found 29 studies related to costs compared to only 6 recent studies arguing functional benefits of daydreaming."
