Whatreallyhappens

I was fortunate enough to see a Mainly Mozart concert when I was about 16 years old and absolutely loved it. I am now a professional musician as well and one of my dreams is to perform with a symphony. However, I am a professional musician on the “rock band” spectrum of music. So if I were to play with an orchestra it would be similar to Metallica’s S&M concert, which I loved very much. My question(s) for you are, is it in any way feasible to have a full tour with an orchestra and a rock band or do you see the costs being too great? And also have you done any work in that manner either on recordings, live performances, or writing any arrangements to accompany a band and what was your experience like?

For many years I have had nightmares where I essentially die in a myriad of ways. Many of those dreams, I was aware that I was dreaming or was even in full control of a lucid dream that eventually went awry and ended up in my death in yet another gruesome way. I have found that smoking weed has completely eliminated those nightmares, but with it, almost all my dreams are gone. I am afraid to go to sleep without it because I feel I have no tools to avoid the inevitable dread I will feel from being killed in my dreams. The last time I tried to sleep without weed, I was ripped apart by wild animals - mostly wolves. I wake up feeling very unrested and full of adrenaline. Do you have any advice to help me steer my dreams in more pleasant or constructive ways? I ultimately would like to not feel dependent on weed for a peaceful nights sleep.
