** The "downer" texture specifically. Basically gives everything a red warped look, the appearance of the settings are heavily distorted, and uncanny beady eyes appear on many elements that either never had eyes to begin with or had eyes that were otherwise less... unsettling. The other three "main" textures at least have some consistent theme to them ("normal" texture, kanji writing everywhere, images of women everywhere), this set just seems to specifically make everything scarier and make even less sense than the dreams already do.

There is one on each end of the bridge, so if you walk foreward, see one, and turn back, there's ''also another one behind you''.

The Grey Man. ''Damn.'' It's some kind of shadowy, featureless creature that takes the general shape of a man and appears in front of you or behind you, and slowly and silently glides towards you. Usually the screen flashes and he disappears... only to continue following you a few seconds later, silently, without you noticing. Touching it immediately kills you and prevents you from reliving the dream, in addition to erasing texture progress- the only way to ''really'' die in the game. It doesn't really help that it mostly appears in Happy Town, a place filled with toys and bright colors. What the ''heck'' is this unspeakable atrocity doing in a children's playground?!

The sun comes in different colors depending on the texture, and apparantly it IS right behind you because it appears on both ends of the bridge. I saw a let\'s play where the player didn\'t know about that and it caught him off guard, which was kind of funny.
