1. A reference to the side of the Earth's
Moon that is constantly out of sight to the Earthlings of planet Terra, due to the fact that the speed of the
Moon's turn is the same as the speed of the
Moon's revolution, causing one side to always be facing its inside toward the Earth, and one side to always be facing outward toward outer Space.
It is in reference to the
Moon as a Symbol of the mind, or Consciousness,
where the Dark side of the
Moon references that outside the Light of the Mind, that which is a part of the
Collective Unconscious.
2. A Musical Album released in 1973 by the progressive
rock group
Pink Floyd, an album that instated a fantastic standard for musical groups everywhere.
The album has become a cultural sensation amongst a variety of genres, but especially represented in the psychedelic counter-culture.
The album has also been said to synchronize with the film The Wizard of
Oz, when played at the correct moment, although the Band has rejected any intention of synchronizing the two.
The Synchronization of Dark Side of the
Moon with The Wizard of Oz, has been called The Dark Side of Oz, and The Dark Side of the Rainbow.
*Tim* - Hey, you wanna go out to the Desert and get High?
*Jim* - Well sure, I'm always down to go out and see the stars. Let's take a stroll on out to the
Moon.
*Tim* - Well Jim... I must have you know, that the
Moon is glittery and fun and all, but this
time I'll be facing my fears of the Silence.
I'm Sailing out to the Dark Side of the Moon.
