The intruder's identity/persona is the key to unlocking this story. The tumor and the dream aren't connected, but her "medicine" and the dream is. Also, the old woman doesn't have hallucinations, but she is in a very fragile and paranoid state when the first part happens, due to her nightly habit. Her version of the truth is a bit twisted.

I hope I could answer some of your questions without revealing too much of the plot / not completely giving it away. But if you want to know more (I assume you're a mod/admin maybe?), I'll be happy to answer. I did think this through before uploading.
