"I enjoyed your website. I have had aura symtoms for a long time. The earliest scintillating scotoma was in 79. I never knew other symptoms were related. I used to get snow and bad headaches in High School 1962-66. Anyway, in the 80s I wrote a bunch of songs. One of them was inspired by strange aura symptoms. It is called 'Wake Up In A Dream'. The auras are very personal and hard to explain, especially the ones that surface long forgotten memories. I am still learning to observe everything that happens. I attached the song. Thanks."

"Klaus: ok, you can link it. I don't have a website with all my songs. I am not into linking. I will work a short write-up on the background of the song so you can use it. As you know, songwriters many times take their personal thoughts/experiences and disguise them in some broader universal theme. At the time I wrote the song, I never knew anyone had what I had. I have always been interested in the relationship of the subconscious and what constitutes reality. Whether they are dreams or auras, they are part of our experience and therefore, reality. What purpose do they serve? Do these states of mind hold secrets? I have had vivid dreams while having migraine/aura symptoms, some of which were long forgotten memories or feelings... how I felt at some time that feels very familiar. It always feels like I am dissolving into the light (even when my eyes are closed since I can still 'see' the aura). When I have them, it is like seeing an old friend or a familiar place from a long time ago. I'll work on an explanation. And if you are wondering... 'No, I never took drugs!'"
