I've been able to see and move it around since I can remember, though I never really thought about it until I was a teenager and heard about auras and such. Shel Silverstein wrote a short in one of his books called something like The Fummawumalumazums, in which a kid kept seeing bright, static-like particles which moved through everything, even his eyelids when he tried to sleep; thats pretty much what its been like for me. Its like a multicolored static which I see everywhere, all the time; I ignore it 99% of the time, but if I can't sleep or I'm bored I'll make shapes of it. It doesn't do anything at all, though, even if I can get it to condense into an orb and make it move. Its just there. I'll see concentrations of colors around people or trees, but I don't know what they mean, and don't really care, either. Usually if someone is upset about something, I can tell without anything special; the whole reading auras thing just kind of irks me. I suppose the only thing worth noting is how rare it is to see purely white specks; I've only ever seen it in the sky before a storm, and at two "holy" places. One was a garden of sorts outside of San Deigo where some guru lived decades ago, the other was the home of a seer of sorts. The storm thing is pretty cool; my friends and family generally go to me before the weather station, lol; I can't give you more than a few hours warning, but I'm pretty accurate.

Eh, its only as useful as the amount of time I spend outdoors, which is practically none.
And no, nothing frothy or bubbly or anything like that; its really more comparable to television static which appears in every color, not just shades of grey. How bright or dark the area I'm in has no effect on it. If I move it to condense it, it simply appears to be more solid, less flickery. The colors get more definite, too. But, like I said before, it can't, or at least doesn't, affect anything near it. It doesn't even feel like anything. Its just there, each particle too small to focus on individually, moving too fast to count, and seeming to always flicker in and out of existence. Its hard to describe, really. I suppose its a bit like describing color to a colorblind person, or perhaps more aptly, tv static to someone who has never seen a television. Static is really just the best analogue I have to give.

If the stuff has any form when I notice it, it doesn't stay long; if I mold it, it stays as long as I focus. It can't roll on anything; it passes right through solids, liquids, etc.
If left alone, it typically seems to move at complete random; there is not a pattern or anything to speak of; it just changes when a storm is coming. Those whitish particles seem to be larger, leave a slight trail, and move in spirals up and down, though not in unison. I can't affect those ones.
