The Modern Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

It's 4:30 in the morning.
I just had a dream where scientists created a DNA strand that could be accessed through the subconscious mind. I don't even know what that means. However, this strand could alter the host's DNA through an hypnotic or dream state.

I still don't know what that means. In the real world, the science of DNA altering is becoming a reality where strands can be clipped with the accuracy of fixing one misspelled word in a multi-volume encyclopedia set. This could stop a cancer growth or, well, start one.

So taking off from there, imagine my virtual DNA strand implanted in the mind and altered through subconscious thought. Perhaps it could change behavior, or release hormones to imbue physical or mental strength. Would it be able to cure MS or other diseases by dreaming it so? Could it change someone temporarily and then dream them back?

Sounds a bit Jekyll and Hyde - which was a dream that Robert Louis Stevenson had one bad night before he wrote it into a book.
