Strange new aura seen in the dark, maybe (7)

I believe the answer is:

unaware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in the dark maybe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'strange new aura' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'new'+'aura'='newaura'
'newaura' anagrammed gives 'UNAWARE'.

'seen' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unaware that I've seen before include "Not knowing (of a situation or fact)" , "Not cognisant" , "Uninformed" , "Ignorant - unacquainted" , "Unexpected" .)
