I know Strange smell and taste can be auras. Not sure of actions. Never heard of that being an aura but do know it can happen during regenerating from a.seizure..

Oh wow, I've never smelled or heard anything. But I have woken up walking barefoot down the block and the cops approach me to see what's up. I woken up at that point totally confused about what happened. I got a ride back. To sound seriously and with respect please. I've woken up stabbing a dog before... yeah. I instantly told my mother in law and told the towns judge so I could tern myself into a mental health..... not clinic but what do u call it again?... lol sorry. But yes, I'm totally open and honest. I smoke weed, delta 8 and 9, THCA, I do it all to help with PTSD , anxiety and such. Hi πŸ‘‹, nice to meet everyone. Names Kevin. I'm an Army Bratt. I grew up in Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ. I'm German / American. I did 9 years service. U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy. I was a Corpsman. I've been around the world and have seen and respect all cultures πŸ™. I've attempted suicide 2 times. I suffer from Head trauma so my memory is a bit off track (so if I repeat or forget, my bad) umm I have 2 boys. But my ex wife is trying to take my rights away. 😀 umm. I don't drink but I smoke, I listen to all music, oh apparently ever time I have a seizure I'm a different type of guy, like now I'm family Kevin. Hi πŸ‘‹ nice to meet ya. 😊 umm I'm new here, ummm I usually sit on the back porch listening to music and the news smoking B&M's. I'm a people person and I like conversations and a nice walk on the beach. πŸ˜†

Sound like you’re experiencing an Aura type seizure. I have a friend who hears electric guitars from his Auras.

Conscious mind is first to get interrupted by a seizure. Can't function all senses. emotion are crazy for a bit. If we lose awareness its like sleepwalking do silly things;none dangerous like walking off a cliff. Like a dream all unique have feelings till brain gets back on track. We know it will pass and why now. Never fear it or worry like years ago sìmply by knowing this. Best thing i learned 50 yrs ago was finally we live in 1st century thru history to explain the crazy seizures as a physical not mental prob with great meds finally to help.
