A young mother is facing serious charges after stabbing her boyfriend who she thought was a “dream”.
On February 18, the family’s life changed forever after turning 21 years old Morgan Lund assaulted the unnamed girlfriend in front of the baby in their Oshkosh, Wisconsin home. According to investigators, Lund woke up around 6:30 a.m. and took the baby into the living room to play, where his girlfriend was sleeping on the couch. Court documents state that the mother told investigators that she “had a confused memory of something that could have been a dream, or an imagination, but she thought. [victim] yelling at his daughter.”
The legal complaint states how Lund told the authorities that he thought he saw a dark, non-human “figure” attacking his sleeping girlfriend – which has apparently been a recurring hallucination for the past six months. Cold.

Lund then allegedly grabbed a pair of scissors, and began “trying to kill” the “figure”. Unfortunately, what he did was stab his defenseless girlfriend. He told police that after he woke up suddenly from the attack, he had to fight Lund to save his own life, and when he did, he pleaded:
“What’s wrong with you? Why am I sleeping, mas?”
According to the documents, when Lund regained consciousness, she told him she “didn’t know what was going on, she was dreaming.” He quickly grabbed a towel for the bleeding wound, while blurting out, “I don’t want to lose custody,” according to the victim. The couple then called police, who arrived just before 8:00 a.m. to find Lund crying, covered in blood, and applying pressure to his girlfriend’s wounds, according to a court complaint filed against him. Police said he “appeared to have a layer of blood on his legs, feet, both arms, and his back and front hands.”
In total, Lund stabbed his girlfriend 19 times in the chest, face, arms, shoulders, and back. He told the authorities that he was going to die – frankly, it was a miracle that didn’t happen! She added in court documents that during the three years they were together, Lund had been violent on “several” other occasions:
“[The victim] stated that throughout their relationship, Morgan was very abusive, hitting her on several occasions. He reported that they were constantly fighting and arguing. He says he argues every day, though [he] shut down the argument because he didn’t want to engage with her anymore. He had threatened her in the past, but never threatened to kill her as far as she knew.
By the time the attack began, the two had broken up.

Lund was arrested at the scene and a psychiatric evaluation was ordered for him. He is currently being held on $250,000 bail on a charge of first-degree intentional homicide. On Monday, he pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and his next hearing is scheduled for April 13.
