Where Did The Dream Tiger Come From?
On May 28th, South Korean artist @govy9807 posted a tiger, drawn as if it were in an ancient scroll, that appeared to wear an ink-black tentacled mask that wrapped around its entire body. They said this feline Slenderman, with dark ribbons rolling out from its stripes and piercing yellow eyes, was revealed to him in a dream.

Govy gave no indication whether the dream was a nightmare or a pleasant romp on the astral plane. It is unknown whether the tiger spirit is malevolent or benevolent.

What Does The Dream Tiger Mean?
The dream tiger's intentions are unknown, but beings from astral planes have historically visited sleeping humans quite often, if the world's mythological traditions are to be believed. The tiger with its ink-black octopus-like mask and cloak is quite visually striking and a fun thing to draw for artists looking for a challenge.

Some depictions tend towards the monstrous, but others depict a more pleasant and friendly kind of cat.
