A projection map of the Moon shows that the part facing us (between yellow lines) has all the dark spots (marias). Remember that being tidally locked means that we only see one side of the moon, which always faces towards Earth. So why is the visible side covered with dark 'mares'?

Here's what the far side of the Moon, the part we can only see when leaving LEO, looks like, using photos from NASA's Artemis I mission. Two Marias are plainly visible, but the rest of the surface is pock-marked with craters. More so than the visible side.

Because they're your night mares.
