How ironic this quote is! Viola is certainly not a man, although she pretends to be in this play. What she is talking about in this quote is Olivia's love for her as Cesario. Viola goes on to say that Olivia is better off loving a dream. Viola says this because a dream is something you cannot touch, feel, or see.... just like Viola's manliness. This cover-up that Viola uses, her manliness, is a veil, disguising her true identity.

That is ironic how Viola uses her disguise as a disguise.
