This dream came from somewhere in the late 90's during the time period when the television series Xena: Warrior Princess was being aired. In case anyone doesn't know, the character Callisto was insane and always trying to get revenge on Xena for the destruction of her village. She blamed Xena for the death of her family and would do anything to get her revenge. I was really into the show and I had quite a few dreams about it. This was one:

I was in a strange place. It was a forest. I was on a narrow path through the forest. I began walking along it, listening to the birds singing in the trees. I was thinking I had better get home. My mother would be worried. I stopped and looked around. I could not think how I had gotten there. I also didn't know how to get home. That seemed strange. I thought about that for a minute and then I decided to do a reality check. The fact I could not remember how I had gotten there was a clue I might be dreaming. For my reality check I jumped into the air and attempted to hover there. I hovered briefly before coming back down. I could fly if I tried! I was dreaming.

Note: My reality check worked perfectly here to make me lucid...

I was completely lucid now. I thought the forest was a nice place and I wanted to explore it some more. I followed the path for a ways and then decided I would fly. I saw the glimmer of light off of water through the trees. I would fly over that lake. I was heading for the lake when I heard someone yelling loudly. It was a woman. I couldn't hear what she was saying. I followed that sound. Right near the edge of the water I found Callisto (from the Xena: Warrior Princess series) pointing a sword at Gabrielle (also from Xena) who was tied to a tree. Callisto looked over at me and was clearly not happy. She was calling out to Xena, who was nowhere to be seen. She said Xena should come out or her pal would die. I told Callisto she didn't want to do that. Callisto asked if I wanted to die along with Gabrielle. I knew I was dreaming so I wasn't afraid of being hurt

Note: When I listen to some songs my imagination starts creating ideas for what kind of magical effect that song could have. I had been listening to Until It Sleeps by Metallica a lot and had been imagining that it would cause feelings of hate, anger, and pain to sleep. I don't know if that is the idea Metallica had when they wrote it, but it is where my mind went... And as so often happens when I have a lucid dream, I stopped thinking about the fact it was a dream and slipped into a state of semi-lucidity.

My first thought was to heal the anger and pain that had made Callisto go insane in the first place. And I knew just the song to make that anger and pain sleep. I focused on the song Until It Sleeps by Metallica. I imagined I could hear it playing in my head and then that I could hear it playing all around me. As I focused on it I realized I really could hear the song playing. And so could Callisto. She had looked like she might attack me with her sword, but now she was looking all around for the source of the strange music. Of course I was the source. As the song played I was focusing healing energy on Callisto, willing her to let go of her anger and hate. After the first part of the song Callisto looked like she was in some kind of trance.

The song completed, and Callisto came out of her trance. She looked disoriented. She looked over at Gabrielle, who was still tied to the tree. I asked Callisto how she felt. She said she felt at peace for the first time in a long time. She used her sword to cut Gabrielle free. Gabrielle looked quite confused at that. Callisto said she didn't know what had just happened, but this could be a whole new beginning. She turned and departed through the trees leaving Gabrielle looking very confused. Xena showed up just after Callisto left. She asked Gabrielle where Callisto had gone. Gabrielle said Callisto had let her go. Now Xena was also confused. Gabrielle looked like she was about to say something to me when everything around me faded to black and I woke.
