右を向いて寝るとリアルで複雑な夢をみることは前に書いた。
昨夜のミョーな夢もそのパターンだった。
ある会社のAという部署から営業の仕事を頼まれ、うまいこと契約が取れたまではよかったが、自分が所属しているBという部署の人たちから「なんでそんなことをした」「よけいなことしやがって」と非難囂々。Bの部長いわく「これから反省会をする」――。あきらかにオレを吊るし上げる気だ。縦割り組織のセクショナリズム、けつの穴の小さい派閥意識にウンザリするオレ。こんな会社辞めちまおうかと感じている。
と、場面変わってテレビ番組のタイトル。1972年ころの大橋巨泉の番組らしい。左端に大きな円柱が半分映っていて、右側の空間が奥から手前へ回転木馬のように回っている。アニメーションのようだが、ジョギング姿の大橋巨泉だけは写真のパタパタアニメの動き。
テーマ曲が明確なメロディで聞こえている。
♬ あたたかい世界 信じていた
だから ほほえみ あげたい
ひとり行く君 元気そうだね
懐かしい路地裏 憶えているかい
僕らが育った町 いまもあるのかな ♫
たしかそんな歌詞。
こういうハッキリした夢をみるときは眠りが浅いのですぐ目覚めてしまう。
このときもそうだった。チラ見した時計は午前6時23分。寒さでブルッとからだが震えた。

Dee Dee Dorety – If The World Only Knew(1966/06)
シングル “To Go Our Separate Ways” のB面。
Composer: Dorsey Burnette, Greg Connors
Producer: Dorsey Burnette
Arranger: Don Randi
Originally from Wisconsin where Dee Dee had won several singing contests at the age of five, her family relocated to Burbank, California in 1956. By the time she was ten years old, her father hooked her up with a manager by the name of Jesse Hodges who landed her a deal with Freedom Records under the direction of Dorsey Burnette. Recorded at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood, the A-side was the atmospheric rocker,’Billy Billy’ b/w’Give Your Love To Me’. She soon hired a different manager, Joe Laine (Frankie Laine’s brother) and a single on Hot Records transpired followed later by another on the Magnet label. At the age of eleven, Dee Dee performed on several TV shows and made appearances at the Beverly Hills Hotel as well as a one week engagement singing at the Pavilion at the Pomona Fairgrounds. At the age of fifteen, Dee Dee reconnected with Dorsey Burnette and she along with Dorsey, his brother Johnny and Jackie DeShannon would perform at the Burbank armory. In the spring of 1966 at the age of seventeen , Dee Dee would walk into Gold Star Studios for her final recording session. Dorsey Burnette not only was the producer but also composed the two songs scheduled to be issued the following month on the Era label. ‘If The World Only Knew’ b/w’To Go Our Separate Ways’ were arranged by’Wrecking Crew’ keyboard player Don Randi, engineered by Gold Star co-owner Stan Ross and fortified with the impeccable background vocals of the Blossoms. ‘If The World Only Knew’ seems to have been the intended B-side but was by far the more impressive of the two tracks. Standing out as a soulful, echo drenched dance floor track with an infectious, driving beat clocking in at a brief two minutes and twelve seconds, it is worth every single second of it. The disc unfortunately failed to chart and after graduating with Burbank High School’s class of 1966, Dee Dee would eventually marry in 1968. Today, Dee Dee Daugharty Culotta is a happily retired mother of two grown children and lives in southern California.
