Has anybody experienced neologisms (made-up words) in lucid dreams?
I hope to create a 'dictionary' which contains words that have been found in dream books, dream characters, or just spontaneously while talking.
I'll start:

Haha, great idea. I have at least one, but I'll have to find it first.
I remember there was an old Task of the Month on DV that was "Ask a DC to tell you a word in a different language and its meaning." So you might be able to find some good ones there: http://www.dreamviews.com/tasks-mont...st-2014-a.html
I managed to complete it back in the day, and my word was "jicanon" (pronounced "juh-kan-uh") which means "armed with a laser".
Not long ago I was called a "L.V.B." by a dream character.
Soon after I learned from them it meant a "lower vibrational body".
I used to write down neologisms when they occurred, thinking/hoping that there might be some deeper meaning to be discovered about them somewhere down the road (especially when they seemed really meaningful or truly mysterious during the dream), but my research into the odd phrases yielded nothing every time, so I stopped recording them (unless of course they seemed to be extremely important, because, hey, you never know!).
I have a feeling that neologisms are nothing more than gibberish, than your dreaming mind simply missing a beat in its DC dialog generation engine. But there might be something to collecting them all in one place -- especially if the list can include what you thought the words meant (if anything) during the dream, and how important their utterance was to you when you heard them. If I get a chance I'll wander through my DJ's and see if I can find a few for you.

Okay...
I have compiled all neologisms on Dreamviews I could find on to the pdf document.

God that was a lot of adjectives.

I love coming across made-up words, names etc. in dreams. I have them quite often, but in non-lucid dreams, and I collect them all into my own little dictionary. One of them is quadront=imposter, I've actually been using that casually amongst people who know what it means, so I've almost forgotten it's a dream-word xD
