Funny how all those toys we had back in the eighties are worth a fortune now... That is interesting that your mind retained those sounds and brought them back with whatever you it was he gave you to smoke and used them again in that weird recurring dream. My brain does odd things like that too from time to time.
One thing that being a parent teaches you well is patience. Your mom had it and now you do too! He must be excited for Christmas!
The funny thing is, often it is the cheapo stuff that is worth the most money now. My wife works with toy companies a lot and they give her stuff she works on.
We have noticed that the collectible items don't appreciate in value like the cheaper stuff. Our theory is that people keep the collectibles nice, while trashing the cheap stuff. In this way there is a high supply of old high quality collectibles but way fewer brand new condition low quality items.
She has Barbie dolls that were $5 new and now worth hundreds, while the Christmas collectibles that originally cost $40 still goes for around $50 on ebay.
It blows my mind. When I realized what the tune had come from I was shocked!
