Nightmare double drags Becker into dream slam scare

Dear Mr Becker, I suffer from dream bridge nightmares about doubling for the diamond lead. In my recurring dream I hold East and open five clubs, South bids five spades, North raises to six, I double for an unusual lead, West leads diamonds, dummy covers with king, I ruff, South overruffs, heart to queen, leads ace of diamonds, I ruff, declarer overruffs, returns trump, and I must play ace on partner's king then return a club away from the king. South makes the slam, 1860 points, I wake screaming. I hope printing this helps end the dream. Sincerely Constant Reader.
