Most "aura sight" tutorials teach you how to strain your eyes so you can see white outlines around dark objects... Staring at something static for long enough will make patches of neon-yellow appear; our eyes react to contrasts, so when you look at something that doesn't move for long enough, the brain won't be getting any sensory information back...

"True" astral sight is done in a state of trance, preferably with closed eyes in a pitch dark room so that there is minimal interference with your actual eyes. Like OBEs, it starts with hypnogogic hallucinations.

You know how thinking of something will usually make its picture appear in the back of your head? Well, hypnogogia is when these background pictures come to the foreground, a bit as though the brain was temporarily rewired to treat your visual memory as your actual physical sight. Chain reactions will appear, where trains of thought will make images appear, and the images themselves will cause reactions within you that cause more images to appear... If you're deep enough in trance, this will create a dream.

So far, I'm not sure how to control whether you'll be seeing a subjective dream or whether you'll be seeing the environment around you, with auras and spirits overlayed... It seems much easier to actually exit the body and look than to control it from still within your body.

Many things hint at the idea that you must raise energy to gain the ability; i.e. your energy field must be large enough for you to be able to reach what you want to be looking at. Under a certain arbitrary treshold of an arbitrary quantity of incalculable energy, you'll be astrally blind.
