Psychedelic & Surreal SREF Codes for Midjourney
Psychedelic SREF codes for Midjourney featuring fractal patterns, kaleidoscopic forms, optical illusions, and mind-bending visuals for surreal abstract art.
Psychedelic & Surreal Abstract SREF codes create mind-expanding art through fractal patterns, kaleidoscopic symmetry, and consciousness-altering visuals. These codes understand optical illusions, impossible geometries, and the visual language of altered perception.
Quick Start:
Use --sref 419643348 --sw 145 for vibrant psychedelic patterns, or --sref 877133173 --sw 140 for fractal psychedelic abstractions.
Important:
Psychedelic codes work best with descriptive, experiential language. Use terms like "swirling," "infinite," "kaleidoscopic," "mind-bending" rather than static or minimal descriptions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pattern Language
kaleidoscopic fractal patterns, infinite recursion --sref 877133173
Vibrant Colors
vibrant psychedelic colors, neon glow --sref 419643348
Movement Terms
swirling spiraling energy, radiating patterns --sref 795590357
Note:
Movement, pattern, and experiential language creates the most authentic psychedelic aesthetics.
Combining Codes
Mix psychedelic approaches:
--sref 419643348::2 877133173::1 --sw 145
This combines vibrant psychedelic patterns (2 parts) with fractal complexity (1 part).
Note:
When combining codes, use --sw 135-155 for intense but controlled results.
