[Sichot HaRan 13:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/13:1)

יֵשׁ אֲנָשִׁים כְּשֵׁרִים שֶׁאֵין לָהֶם פַּרְנָסָה וְיֵשׁ לָהֶם דֹּחַק וּבִלְבּוּלִים גְּדוֹלִים מִזֶּה, וְהוּא טוֹבָה לְהָעוֹלָם. וְדַע שֶׁיֵּשׁ דִּבּוּרִים יְקָרִים שֶׁיּוֹצְאִים עַל־יְדֵי בִּלְבּוּלִים דַּיְקָא.

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
There are many religious people who have no livelihood and find this to be a source of great stress and confusion. But even this is good for the world. And know that there are many precious words that only come from such confusion.


###### Sichot HaRan 13:2
[Sichot HaRan 13:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Sichot%20HaRan/r/13:2)

אַךְ יֵשׁ חִלּוּקִים בֵּין הַבִּלְבּוּלִים וְכַמּוּבָא בַּמִּדְרָשׁ (בְּרֵאשִׁית רַבָּה מד־יט): שֶׁיֵּשׁ תַּרְדֵּמָה שֶׁל נְבוּאָה כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב: "וְתַרְדֵּמָה נָפְלָה עַל אַבְרָם" (בְּרֵאשִׁית טו־יב), וְיֵשׁ תַּרְדֵּמָה שֶׁל שְׁטוּת וְכוּ'. תַּרְדֵּמָה הוּא בִּלְבּוּל הַדַּעַת:

**Rabbi Nachman's Wisdom, trans. Aryeh Kaplan, Jerusalem. Breslov Research Institute, 1973:**
There are many types of confusion and distraction. In the Midrash, we find that there is slumber pertaining to prophecy, as when “a deep sleep fell on Abraham” (Genesis 15:12; see *Bereshit Rabbah* 44:19). On the other hand, there is the sleep of fools. In both cases, sleep refers to mental confusion (see “*His Wisdom*” #112).
