DNA Dream

These days, I rarely have long, complicated dreams like I used to have in my younger days. I miss them :-( But last night was an exception. Here is the outline of a wonderful dream I had, the seeds for a good science fiction book!

I. Scientist observes squirrel doing unexplained scraping at the skin of
a shelled walnut.

A. Tests squirrels and finds they have a fixed-action pattern in
response to a particular pattern on the walnut skin.

B. Shows it to brain doctor, who identifies it as a brain disease.

C. Scientist experiments with models of brains and brain disease and the
squirrel removes all the disease without harming the brain.

D. Tests on animals, open brain surgery by squirrel, and the animals are
cured.

E. Passes requirements for human tests, which also show amazing cure
results.

II. Scientist comes to believe that the squirrels DNA has been tampered
with, giving the squirrel this amazing ability.

A. Finds another anomalous behavior, this time ants picking skin cancer
off a corpse.

B. Does similar test for ants with patterns, then actual flesh with cancer.

C. Ants cure skin cancer.

III. As other scientists begin studying other anomalous animal
behaviors, the original scientist begins to suspect the DNA of these
animals has been edited by aliens.

A. Scientist compares the DNA of curative animals with non-curative
animals and finds a marker, both start and end, to the DNA. Suspects the
DNA between the markers is the added DNA.

B. All over the world, scientists are finding these begin/end markers in
other animals, and are trying to find if these animals have curative
behaviors, too.

C. Someone identifies the DNA of one marked animal to be a coded
message, giving the secrets of quantum travel across the universe.

D. Scientist checks human DNA for markers, and finds them, especially in
very smart people and finds markers predominantly in the Asperger's
population.

E. Scientist tests the DNA of spouses of smart people, and finds the
markers highly correlated with partners with the markers.
