Featherpoint,
It's rather strange that the person being scanned reports it happening multiple times. Perhaps this person should meditate on the situation and find out if they get the same perception as in the waking state. There could be some activity in the way of help from the other side involved.
While we are on the subject of scanning without permission. How about sending healing energies to people without their permission? I remember being in a healing group years ago (before Reiki) where people would come in with lists of names for the group to work on. I seriously doubt all if not most knew what was going on because most of these people were out of the state or country. Many were seriously ill in hospitals. It's their relatives who would give the permission which is similar to them giving permission to operate or take other lifesaving measures. I don't think anybody can help another person unless they want it consciously and unconsciously.
Sincerely,
Zookie
