I sometimes have dreams about bridge. Strange I know.
You hold at matchpoints at green: T9xxxx Txxxx x x. RHO opens 2♣ (nothing fancy, just strong). You resist the temptation to jump in and pass. LHO passes (!?) and partner comes back in (!!??) with 2♥. RHO looking very agitated slams 4♠ on the table.
Your call.

How's that? (pass)
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

If that is your construction, why not double?
I like +50 or +100 better than -920
Edit: also strange dreams breed strange layouts, please don't take me completely seriously.

In case they run to a making 6♣ contract?
Ah, Kayin beat me to it.

That is pretty funny. Didn't see that.
But then it would be a nightmare, not a dream.

Nooooo! What a nightmare.
