Prompts are only half the fun. Here's what else to try once you're in the app.
Switch the studio to DreamBot mode and write "me" in your prompt. Action hero, astronaut, a Renaissance oil painting: the starring role is yours.
Me as the hero of a 1980s action movie poster, leaping from a speedboat at sunset, with the title "MIDNIGHT HARBOR" in chrome letters across the top
Add your partner or best friend to your Dream Cast, then use their name in the prompt right next to "me".
Me and [name] on a 1950s jazz album cover, posing beside a red convertible under a streetlight, with the title "SATURDAY NIGHT" in bold script
Make your best friend a Viking, a pirate or a 1920s movie star for their birthday, then send it their way.
[name] as a Viking chieftain at the prow of a longship in a storm, wearing a wolf-fur cloak and a paper birthday crown
Restyle a photo from your last trip into an anime still, a watercolor postcard or a little pixel-art scene.
Describe your pet, give them a crown and a velvet throne, and you have a royal portrait. Every good dog deserves one.
A scruffy grey terrier as a Renaissance duke on a velvet throne, in a ruffled lace collar and a tiny gold chain, oil painting, warm candlelight
Write the scene and put your message in quotes, then add yourself and your favorite people with "me" and their Dream Cast names.
Me and [name] in matching red sweaters outside a snowy log cabin hung with golden lights, a vintage Christmas card with "Merry Christmas" in gold script across the top
The feed has bots that post fresh art every day. ChibiBot, ToyBot and YumBot are a reliable daily smile.
Every night DreamBot paints you and the people you love into a brand new picture. Open the app in the morning and see where you ended up.
Want to be in the picture? In DreamBot mode, write “me” in your prompt, or the name of someone in your Dream Cast. Or skip the typing: the nightly dreams put you somewhere new every morning.
Most great prompts follow the same simple shape. Fill in these five and you’re most of the way there.
Made with Flux 1.1 Pro
A sloth in a tiny chef's hat flips pancakes in a treehouse kitchen, beside a stack of plates, a jar of honey and a sleepy parrot. Glossy 3D animation, warm morning light through the leaves, one pancake stuck to the ceiling.
Subject, setting with props, one style, the light, one finishing touch.
No jargon, just five habits that make pictures better, with a few side-by-sides so you can see the difference.
A dog at the beach is nice. A dog on lifeguard duty is a story. Give your star something to do and the whole picture wakes up.
Both made with Nano Banana
"Fun party vibes" is a feeling. Balloons, a three-tier cake and a grandpa blowing out the candles are things you can see, and the fun shows up on its own.
Both made with Flux 1.1 Pro
Ask for watercolor, anime and oil paint all at once and you get a muddle. Pick your favorite and let it run the whole picture.
Both made with Flux 2 Pro
Want the whole outfit in the picture, boots and all? Describe it all the way down to the shoes.
Golden hour, a snowy dusk, one candle at midnight: say when it is and the whole mood changes with it.
Swap the highlighted words for your own and you’ve got a prompt.

A movie poster for "TITLE" starring me / a Dream Cast name as ROLE, WHAT'S HAPPENING, DECADE movie poster style.

An album cover called "ALBUM NAME" for a band of ANIMALS in OUTFITS, posing WHERE, DECADE album cover style.
For example: An album cover called "SPACE SNACKS" for a band of four penguins in sparkly silver jumpsuits, posing on the moon beside a rocket shaped like a guitar, 1970s album cover style.
A ANIMAL working as a JOB in PLACE, wearing UNIFORM, with PROP and PROP. ART STYLE, LIGHT.

Tap any phrase to copy it, then add it to the end of a prompt.
Pets as royalty, animals with day jobs, a movie poster starring you, an album cover for a band of sheep, or a houseplant posing for a dramatic portrait. Start with something that makes you smile, give it something to do, and add a few props. Every prompt on this page is ready to copy.
Describe them the way you'd describe them to a friend: breed, color and one quirk. Then give them a role and a place, like "a scruffy grey terrier as a Renaissance duke on a velvet throne". The royal pet template on this page is a good place to start.
In DreamBot's studio, switch to DreamBot mode and write "me" in your prompt, like "me as an astronaut floating above Earth". Add a friend from your Dream Cast by name to bring them along. Or let the nightly dreams do it: each night DreamBot paints you into a new picture, ready when you wake up.
Keep it short and friendly: who or what, doing something, in a place with two or three props, in one art style. "A raccoon barista pouring latte art in a cozy café, storybook 3D animation, morning light" will beat a long list of adjectives every time.
Yes. Describe the scene and put your message in quotes, like a red sleigh in the snow with "Merry Christmas" in gold script across the top. In DreamBot mode you can put yourself and your Dream Cast in the picture too, then share it with friends straight from the app.
Usually the most important part is tucked away at the end, or the prompt describes a feeling instead of things. Put the main idea first, name the props you want to see, and if it's still off, try the same prompt on another model.
Yes, they're plain text, so paste them anywhere. They were made and tested in DreamBot, so that's where they'll look most like the pictures here.
Copy a prompt, open DreamBot and tap Dream. It’s free to download on iPhone and iPad, and there’s a new pack of ideas here whenever you need one.
