When some of the conspirators are speaking their thoughts aloud to the audience in Act II Scene II what literary device are they using Remember They are not alone onstage.?

Since you are talking about "conspirators" I guessed that the play you were talking about was Julius Caesar. Act II Scene 2 (at least in my copy) starts with Caesar's line "Nor heaven nor earth have been at peace tonight". The conspirators hardly say anything in it. However, at the end of the scene Caesar says to Trebonius, "Be near me that I may remember you" and Trebonius responds "Caesar, I will. (Aside) And so near will I be, that your best friends shall wish I had been further." The last part of the line is said by the actor under his breath, or turning away from Caesar, so the audience hears what is said, but Caesar does not appear to. This is a convention, of course; the actor playing Caesar knows and can hear Trebonius's line, but pretends that he cannot, so the audience can know that Trebonius is sharing his thought only with the audience and not with Caesar. Sometimes in films or some productions this is accomplished by a voiceover where we hear Trebonius's thought without seeing him say it. This is just as much a convention as having him say the line directly to the audience, since we cannot hear people's thoughts. The name of this convention or device is given in the script: it is called an "aside", and is especially useful where the character detects some irony as in this case. Sometimes a character will deliver a string of asides commenting on the stupidity of another character--Act II Scene 2 of Shakespeare's play Cymbeline consists almost exclusively of such remarks. Cymbeline is a play rife with asides, but there are loads also in Othello, and other Shakespeare plays. Back to Caesar, Brutus has a short aside about two lines after Trebonius's.

What does decius brutus convince Caesar that the blood in Portia and dream represents?

Decius Brutus interpreted that the blood coming out from Caesar's body shall enrich the whole of Rome. People shall soak their kerchiefs in his blood and keep it as their prized possession or a memorabilia for the generations to come.
