Sigmund Freud wrote ‘our own death is indeed quite unimaginable, and whenever we make the attempt to imagine it we can perceive that we really survive as spectators…. At the bottom of this nobody believes in his own death…. In the unconscious everyone of us is convinced of our own immortality.’ Freud also argues that the need for survival and the knowledge of our ultimate fate creates high levels of anxiety.
