The augmented fourth is what separates this scale from a simple vanilla diatonic major scale, and it is what creates the tension (often leading to a resolution, but not always), and, depending on its usage, different feelings.

Yes, to me this scale/mode sounds dreamy and mysterious but it can also create some tension.

This is the mode that obliterates all thoughts of the sub-dominant IV. It creates the unconscious desire to arrive at V instead of I. I've always loved this scale.

^Well that would make sense considering it's the fifth mode of a major scale. The key signature is based on the V (as I'm sure you know, but I like to have music theory discussions).
