<strong>Mathew Phelps told the 911 operator he was having a bad dream when he&#8217;d killed his wife Lauren Ashley-Nicole Phelps in their Raleigh, NC home</strong></p>
<p>A North Carolina man is so far has failed to convince authorities that he was dreaming when he killed his wife in a stabbing frenzy, Friday. Mathew Phelps began his bad dream defense by calling a 911 operator in Raleigh, with the tale of awaking from slumber to find his wife stabbed to death, himself drenched in blood.<br />
According to an <a href="http://abc13.com/mans-bizarre-911-confession-released-in-wifes-murder/2374720/">ABC 13 </a>report Phelps, 28, told the operator in Raleigh early Friday that he fell asleep after taking too much cold medicine and may have accidentally killed his 29-year-old wife Lauren Ashley-Nicole Phelps, in his sleep.<br />
“I think I killed my…,” Phelps said to the operator, according to the outlet.<br />
“What do you mean by that? What happened?” the dispatcher asked.<br />
“I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor … I have blood all over me and there’s a bloody knife on the bed. I think I did it. I can’t believe this,” Phelps told the dispatcher.</p>

<strong>Lauren Ashley-Nicole Phelps was found knifed to death, allegedly by her husband Friday in their Raleigh, NC home</strong></h6>
<p>“I had a dream and then I turned on the lights and she’s dead on the floor,” Phelps can be heard saying on the call.<br />
“How? How?” the dispatcher asked.<br />
At the end of the call, which lasted 7 minutes, Phelps sobbed to the operator and said his wife didn’t deserve what happened.<br />
“She’s not moving at all. Oh my God. She didn’t deserve this,” Phelps said.<br />
Responding officers found his wife, Lauren Ashley-Nicole Phelps, dead from multiple stab wounds. The suspect told dispatchers he took the cough medicine Coricidin because he has trouble sleeping.<br />
Raleigh police charged Phelps with murder on Friday shortly after he made the emergency call.<br />
Police don’t believe the crime was a random act and Phelps is being held without bond. He’s due back in court Tuesday.<br />
Meanwhile the drug&#8217;s manufacturer&#8217;s have stated that there’s no evidence to suggest Coricidin is associated with violent behavior.</p>
