1438.0. "Dream Aura" by NRCP::GERRITS () Mon Mar 18 1991 12:59

    Hello everyone.  Hope your St. Patrick's Day was a good one!
    
    I would appreciate any assistance in understanding the following
    situation.  Recently I bought one of those self-hypnosis tapes, this
    one focused on Developing Your Psychic Abilities (one side for
    hypnosis, the other subliminal).  Last night I had my walkman on
    listening to the tape while in bed.  At some point, I'm sure I fell
    asleep, because I don't recall all the visualizations, and before I
    knew it, the tape was over.  I was soon fast asleep.  Now here's my
    question:
    
    	In what seemed like a dream, of which I don't recall the context,
    	I remember seeing, what I believed to be an aura around my arm.
    	I recall first being excited about seeing my arm, because
    	having read many of the notes in here, I knew that was hard to
    	do in the dream.  After that, I was even more excited when I 
    	realized I was looking at what could possibly be my own aura.
    	It seemed as though there were two distinct colors (yellow and
    	either dark blue or black).  
    
    Now I realize that since this seemed to have occurred in a dream, that
    it may not have been my actual aura.  But I would be curious to hear
    what some of you familiar with dreams and auras, have to say.  
    
    I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't write down the context of the
    dream, as I have been doing some dreamwork lately.  To date, this is
    the closest I've come to exploring my higher self in my dreams.
    
    Thank you in advance!

1438.1REEF::MCGOWANRWolves....The silent hunters.Mon Mar 18 1991 14:428
    I know little of auras but what I do know is that depending on your
    personality the colors vary... also like if you're angry or scared it
    can turn red...if your sick it becomes a pale greyish white...I've been
    able to see myu aura simply by standing in front of a light solid color
    wall...preferably white.. with a dim light behind me...then I
    concentrate and stare at my hands and it usually shows up... It's
    interesting to test what different stimulus does to it...

    In addition to my basenote question (which I am eagerly awaiting
    comments on . . . please!), I have one more.
    
    When surrounding yourself with the protective bright light, is it
    normal to feel tingling sensations in the part of the body you're
    concentrating on?  When imagining the light travelling from my
    fingertips up my arm, I can actually feel tingling.  By the time I'm
    done with the procedure, I'm pretty much tingly all over.  Has anyone
    else experienced this?
    
    Thanks!

    Yes, Lynn, I have.  If I'm 'connected' (for lack of a better term), the
    tingling begins in my feet and ends up at the crown of my head.  Other
    times it begins at places above my feet.
    
    Depending upon a particular situation - particularly inspiring music or
    an event, this will happen spontaneously.

    Lynn,
    
    I have this experience when focusing on body parts in meditation.  
    Either warmth and tingling or cold and tingling, depending on what kind 
    of meditation I'm doing.   I believe it is an extremely common and
    desireable effect in most healing and meditative work.
    
    I've never had any dreams or visions of aura, although I've tried
    numerous times to develop that talent.  To me, it sounds 
    like you found a previously hidden gift.  
    
    	best wishes,

1438.5keep that energy flowing.UHCLEM::BAKERWed Mar 20 1991 09:0213
    Having been treated with acupuncture I believe your aura is really your
    energy field and is treated like an other organ in your body(ie,heart,
    liver).  Once you become aware of your field through meditaion or other
    means you can actually feel the energy flowing through your body and in
    different directions.  The flow of energy give me a tingly sensation in
    the part of the body I am concentrating on.  I think it is really neat
    to be able to feel and control the flow of the energy, although I am 
    just learning.
    
    Sounds like you are doing the right thing.  I can't really see auras
    but I can certainly feel my own.

1438.6Could be the tape ?UTRTSC::MACKRILLERR-%P-NAME-EXPIREDWed Mar 20 1991 09:1922
    Hi Lynn, Yes, the tingling sensation is quite common when employing
    deep relaxation techniques. You need not think of it as "light" but
    simply need to sit/lie comfortably and concentrate on relaxing various
    parts of your body in the correct manner. The "light" technique is a
    good one to use to focus your attention on specific parts of the body.

    I always liken this to a body being under tension, (sometimes for years
    without the person being aware of it), then when you utilise this
    technique it is as if a spring held under tension is released and it
    quivers with the release of tension. The next stage is when your body
    is so relaxed that it feels very heavy and almost foreign to you.

    It is a bit hard to work out exactly what happened in your case but you
    may have dropped off but still coming under the suggestions on the
    tape. (You say the tape had suggestions to imagine light travelling up
    your arm ?) It is quite likely that the suggestion interacted with a
    dream state causing you to have the experience. Your sense of hearing
    does not necessarily turn off when entering a light dream state.

    All in all, learning these techniques are immensely beneficial.

    I have read this notes file with some interest. I cannot see any sort
    of aura about myself,but my three month old daughter often seems to
    have a green or sometimes blue glow about her. My wife and I have often
    noticed this but no one else has ever commented upon it.This aura
    appears often in bright light and if I may say so is sometimes eery.Not
    being a particularly religous person or prone to belief in the super
    natural I wondered if you could offer me some sort of explanation or
    could tell me of a similar experience.

re .-1 (Aaron)


The light blue in the human aura is, in my direct experiences, the 
color of someone who is gathering power.  I see this in my students
as they do different positive spiritual exercises.  It is also 
readily visible in my little one as well.  It looks almost like a
low level neon light and it's the color of a clear sky at noon.
Many children have luminoscity of this color during the first 6 months
to 1 year of age.

You may notice that the whites of her eyes have a similar tint.  
The color in the eyes will begin to disappear as she grows older
and get more "physically" oriented instead of being oriented to
the light from which she came.


God's Peace!
