brainless, dreamy longings

Poetry & Literature
Доброго времени суток.
It was never intended that man should be poor. When wealth is obtained under the proper conditions it broadens the life. Everything has its value. Everything has a good use and a bad use. The forces of mind like wealth can be directed either for good or evil. A little rest will re-create forces. Too much rest degenerates into laziness, and brainless, dreamy longings
Спасибо.

: Странно будет встретить такое слово в переводе литературного произведения англоязычного автора.

Aren't we allowed to adapt for the target audience? Especially since it looks like some kind of New Agey stuff with little real literary value.
