Why brain cells swell when the blood plasma is very dilute?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a High Water (Dilute Solution) to a Low Water (Strong Solution). If blood plasma becomes very dilute with water, when it travels to the brain the brain cells will swell because the are taking on too much water. This happens because the high concentration of water (in the blood) is moving to the lower concentration of water (brain cells) making the cells swell as they are taking on too much water.

What does the red blood cell looks like in distilled water?
Normally red blood cells look like flat disk, witch is compressed in the center. So that they have more surface area when they get exposed to oxygenated air from alveoli and secondly they can get folded, when they squeeze through capillaries, witch are smaller than the size of red blood cells. When we put them in the distilled water, they will get swollen, like a boll, as water will enter the cells due to higher oncotic (osmotic, you can say) pressure inside the cells.
What happens when red blood cells are placed in normal saline?
Nothing happens they stay intact, because they do not lose or take in any water by osmosis ; only because salt has about the same concentration as cells do.
What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in the solution that has higher water potential?
they absorb water through the permeable membrane and on ovr absorbing...they burst up
