It was not for a long time that I learned to appreciate the importance of phantasies and unconscious thought about life in the womb.  They contain an explanation of the remarkable dread that many people have of being buried alive; and they also afford the deepest unconscious basis for the belief in survival after death, which merely represents a projection into the future of this uncanny life before birth. Moreover, the act of birth is the first experience of anxiety, and thus the source and prototype of the affect of anxiety.” -Freud (1900-1901, S.E. Vol.5, p. 400)
