Exploring Imaginary Tokens in Midjourney 8.1

LudovicCreator · x · 2026-07-15

The author shares examples of playing with "imaginary tokens" in **Midjourney v8.1**, attempting to trigger the model to generate different visual styles using abstract words. Examples include: - **Hollowbloom**: Something growing out of emptiness - **Selfdrift**: The sense of self gradually disconnecting from the body - **Unheldthing**: Things almost touched, almost preserved - **Glitchharbor**: A safe harbor formed by stabilized digital errors The author notes this technique is unstable but fun, encouraging others to mix these tokens and continue experimenting in other tools.
