Cousin

A 'Cousin' in a dream represents a familiar aspect of the Self. People in dreams represent the different characteristics within your personality. Family members represent aspects that you are familiar with -- qualities you recognize within yourself. A cousin is family, so there is familiarity, but not as close as a sibling or parent. This reflects an aspect of yourself that you know and recognize but perhaps do not engage with as frequently or as intimately as your most dominant qualities. Pay attention to the qualities you associate with your cousin. Are they outgoing, creative, responsible, rebellious? Whatever quality stands out most is the aspect of yourself being highlighted. Also notice what your cousin is doing in the dream, as this provides insight into how that aspect of you is currently operating in your life.

When a cousin shows up in your dream, it is bringing a somewhat familiar quality of yours to your attention. This may be an aspect that you have not been giving enough attention to recently, or one that has been influencing your behavior in ways you may not have fully recognized.
