FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Direct answers about the universe, artifacts, and sovereign mindset

What is OBAY DI DREAM in simple terms?

OBAY DI DREAM is a story-driven universe expressed through wearable artifacts.

We design physical pieces that carry messages and directives meant to anchor you back in your own command — reminders that your thoughts, emotions, and decisions belong to you, not the feed.

What does "sovereign mind" mean?

A sovereign mind is a mind that belongs to you again.

It's the part of you that can feel the noise, pressure, and trends — and still choose what's true.

What is Maroon City?

Maroon City is a conceptual city built on principles, not geography. It's where our stories, characters, and artifacts live — a mental architecture for the sovereign mind.

It represents what happens when distraction and conformity are replaced with clarity and authorship.

What is Artifact_001: REFUSE NORMAL?

Artifact_001 is our first piece and the core directive of the universe — a wearable reminder to stop shrinking yourself to fit what's "normal."

It's not merch. It's a signal.

Who is this for?

OBAY DI DREAM is for people tired of performing — creatives, athletes, thinkers, builders, the ones who never quite fit the script.

If you've ever felt "too different," this is for you.

How can I check my pre-order status?

Every pre-order artifact moves through a deployment cycle.

You can track its progress any time through our deployment console.

For live updates, make sure you've entered your email at checkout so transmissions about your order can reach you.

What is your return or exchange policy?

Not everything should be reversed. But when something arrives misaligned, we make it right — within reason.

If your order arrives damaged or defective, email info@obaydidream.com within 2 days of delivery.

The item must be unused, unwashed, and unaltered, with all original packaging, labels, and security tags intact.

Once those elements are removed, worn, or altered, the Artifact becomes part of your story — and can't return to ours.

Who are the people in your visuals?

They're not just models — they're citizens of Maroon City.

Each one is an archetype in the story:

  • Ink — the Visionary, the one who sees the code underneath the script.
  • Lone Flame — the Frontline, the one who stands in the hostile signal field.
  • Arri — the Architect, holding the quiet spaces where new thought is built.
  • Kim — the Mirror, showing what it looks like to stand alone and still belong to yourself.

They're all different ways of refusing "normal."

How do I actually enter this universe?

You don't need a passport — you need a signal.

The cleanest entry points right now:

  1. Watch the Origin piece to understand the wound and the system.
  2. Secure Artifact_001 — REFUSE NORMAL and live with it, not just in your closet.
  3. Follow the 7-day Observation Logs and take only what you need.

From there, you decide how deep you go.

Do you use AI, and how?

Yes — as a tool for visualization and structure, not for vision or direction.

AI helps us render environments, storyboards, and concept worlds.

But the mission, philosophy, and artifacts are human-led. Always.

What are Sovereign Resources?

Sovereign Resources are free tools from the lab — audio, writing, and simple practices — built to help you decode the world you're living in.

Breath work, field notes, and soundtracks you can download to train your attention, even if you never buy an artifact.
