(this might not apply to people where they don't get lots of snow)

Okay so this morning at about 7, the sun was still rising and it was bright, but grey. (get what I mean?) I was walking, and I'm a clutz, so I always look at my feet and make sure I don't trip. So anyway, I'm looking down and the snow is glittering, glistening and sparkling. akmost like timy flashing lights. or those tiny witches you get in your line of sight during an aura.

but it has always bugged me. If i looked at it for too long, it would give me vertigo and almost a feeling of motion sickness and then a headache. So I look farther ahead where I can't see the lights twinkle. This usually results in me wiping out alot. :) This is the first time it happened this winter as we got a light snowfall last night and frigid cold after so the flakes harden and look like small diamonds. But now because I know what auras are and know what they could mean I got scared. I was watching them and couldnt tak emy eyes off. Just so I wouldnt have to look up and realize that its all around me and I really am having an aura. So i got this sick feeling in my stomach (which is normal with this) and paniced more. because I had a tonic clonic last night i thought this was a recipe for another. so i tried to keep looking at it while staying still. I was afraid to find out it was an actual aura if i lifted my head and eyes away. If I was going to have a tonic outside in public in the snow, I wanted no notification so there was no embarrasment. (I had a semi-public tc at work a while back. at my second job and only my 4th shift)


ANyone else??

So you ended up okay? No seizure?
 
yeah, no seizure. but like the fear that one was going to happen. just wondering if the glitter snow affects anyone else. photosensitive or not.
