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* - 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.
