Each area in LSD: Dream Emulator can appear decorated in one of four texture sets. These texture sets are commonly referred to by fans as "Normal", "Kanji", "Downer", and "Upper", though internally they're only known as textures A-D.

Texture Motifs

Normal

The first texture set. As the name suggests, this texture set is the baseline with nothing wacky going on.

Kanji

Also called Logic textures. Every surface is tinted purple and covered head-to-toe in Japanese writing. Text over generic surfaces like grass or walls consists of excerpts from the Dream Diary, unique entities are usually labelled with the appropriate kanji symbol describing it (e.g. the moon from Moonlight Tower has the symbol for moon, 月, written on it in Kanji textures).

Downer

Textures become tinted red, distorted, and generally abstract. Eyeballs appear everywhere one could think of placing them.

Upper

Also called Sexual textures. Photos of scantily clad female models and magazine clippings line every surface. Also has HAPPY TOWN-esque faces, and generally has bright flourishing hues.

The Texture Cycle

The first ten days have Normal textures, with another texture set being added into the mix every 10 days (for example, from days 11-20 areas have a chance of possessing either Normal textures or Kanji textures, then Downer gets added, and so on). The order is Normal, Kanji, Downer, Upper. After the final day of Upper textures, the cycle will reset.

 ==The Texture Cycle==
-The game starts with only Normal textures, but every 10 days another texture set is added into the mix. From days 11-20, an area may appear decorated in the Normal or Kanji texture sets. This can change each time you visit the area. After that Downer textures are introduced, and from Days 31-40 any of the four may appear. The cycle resets after this, with only Normal textures appearing again for the next 10 days.
