"We are close to waking up when we dream that we are dreaming."- What I get from this quote is that when we dream it feels as if it was real. For example, if you have ever falling off of something in your dream that it woke you up because the dream seemed so real. Our minds are filled with some many thoughts when we are awake and asleep.
"We are alone with everything we love."- meaning we love ourselves. It's a good thing we love ourselves, we should appreciate for who we are. You have to love yourself before you love anyone else. Be at peace with yourself.
"There is only one temple in the world and that is the human body."- Continuing about loving yourself and accepting yourself, this quote explains that our human body is a precious thing. Today people are always finding ways to change their bodies, but people do this in a dangerous way. An example would be anorexia or bulimia and in result to that is being sick all the time.
"Marriage is the highest mystery."- What this quote means to me is that I don't think marriage is a mystery its a commitment. Maybe the way people see marriage is a mystery is because nobody can stay together. For example someone being divorced many times in their life and don't understand the meaning of marriage. From my experience i see how my parents view marriage. I don't think their marriage is a mystery at all because I see them everyday loving each other, building their relationship and growing strong together.

I agree with many of your thoughts about this passage. I completly understand what you are saying about having a dream that seems so real that you wake up feeling that it really happened. I also blogged on this passage because i really enjoyed the messages.
"You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else." I agree with your opinion on loving yourself. If you're not comfortable with yourself, then it will be difficult expressing affection towards others. Sadly, there seems to be a social stigma on anything that involves putting yourself first. Hopefully, this stigma will disappear one day.
