MissC – Wow – what a dreamer!!
I think I can comment on the middle one, and maybe others can comment on the first and third one.
The cousin of your grandmother who lives in a tree house seems to be a part of you that is close nature and probably has some wisdom, but doesn’t have much social ability. Such parts of us are often developed through being an outsider of some sort. This means they cannot get the same satisfaction out of ordinary things, and all that energy can go neurotic or into an unusual adaptation. For instance a nun might have no sexual life, so all that energy could lead her into massive neurosis or into an awareness of the supersensual worlds.
So her inability to get close to anyone suggests there is an element of that is you. But the remark about “that she would literally rot in the house” says that this is what ignoring or ‘no one visiting her’ leads to the disappearance of that aspect. But not disappearance, more like starving it of attention so it gradually dies out – or exists as a shadow. In my exploration of my past I came across a little boy (a young me) who had been shut up in a cellar for 40 years without attention. It was very moving to find him and try to contact him. His first words, “I’m dangerous, like a tiger.” But I could see it was him being very vulnerable and so not trusting anyone to get near him/me. That may have been the cousins rudeness.
So any refinding of aspects of yourself is rewarding, and adds enormously to understanding other people. Sometimes these aspects do not link with the present life, and finding them and allowing them to express is the real resurrection.
