Some have speculated that it is like the Lifestream in FFVII, but you do make me wonder about another possibility. I have been playing Gears Ultimate the past few days and, spoilers ahead for those who haven'ts played the third game, you just made me think of Immulsion in that series. Basically, Immulsion is the oil of Sera and in the third game it is revealed that Immulsion is a living organism that functions like a parasite capable of taking over other organisms on Sera. Doubtful that Dust is a malicious organism, but who knows? Perhaps Dust is an organism that functions as a sort of hive mind and the Grimm are like their natural prey. Kind of an odd way to approach it, but it would certainly be original. That could explain why Dust interacts with Aura as it is also alive.
