It is hanging from a cobweb near the center of sublevel 2 of the Hectic Hollows. To get Pikmin onto it, you need to jump on top of the green can next to it, but since it has a large blob of hydro jelly on top of it, you will first need to freeze and burst it. Afterwards, throw 10 Pikmin at it while standing atop the can. Before all this, you should kill the nearby Tusked Blowhog to make sure there are no casualties.
Notes
Schnauz's notes
“This ritual pole was used during an ancient festival held at the start of each new year. If the ball landed on the sharp end, the people's wishes would come true and they would dance in celebration. Though it's commonly believed the people danced either way.”
Olimar's notes
“I'm so bemused by the idea of catching a dream, but it's difficult to achieve in practice. I still haven't been able to catch the ball with the spike upright. Perhaps I need to try an easier angle... But would that diminish the challenge and thus the quality of the dream?”
Louie's notes
“You may be able to poke something with the spiky part.”
