Down in the Something/da-dut du-du-dut

MSSIMH:
This morning I had this song in my head but I wasn't sure what it was. It kept going "Down in the something/da-dut du-du-dut."
After an internet search, I realized it was Billy Joe Royal - Down in the Boondocks from 1965. I don't know when I heard this last. It had to have been on in the background somewhere - in a store, on TV...

DREAM:
Every now and then, someone from a distant past sneaks into my dreams. Last night's episode included a guy from high school I probably have not seen since graduation. He was a good guy and a friend but not a top friend (obviously since I haven't seen since graduation).
It is present day and somehow we have reunited. I go over to his house during the day and he is drinking beer and hanging out. He serves me some kind of Mexican chicken dish kinda like dumplings. We are hanging out in his garage drinking cheap beer in cans (high school flashback?). There is a large 70s era station wagon with a little TV and other things on top of it. We use the hood as a table.
A girl maybe late teens early 20s comes in wearing a long robe (nothing sexual here) who he introduces as his sister. She is pretty dismissive of us and goes to sit in the station wagon to apply her make up with a small mirror.
Yet another one that baffles me. I have seen some Facebook people chatter of reunions and maybe it made me think of him. Not sure what the car, sister and Mexican dumplings are all about. One interesting item to note: I could really taste the food and the flavor "memory" still lingers. The taste is not in my mouth, but in my head. Does that make sense?
