I believe that there is a psychological attraction to the very source of the warmth, comfort, heartbeat, and nourishment that we first experienced as infants. This may have imprinted into our subconscious memories as a similar sense of comfort of the womb had presented to us prior to birth. I wonder if that is why we live in homes.. does it replicate the safety, security, comfort, and nourishment that was present in the womb? Do we create housing that vaguely represents a pseudo-womb for adulthood? The modern home provides isolation from the outside world, centralized form and function, and contains the elements of survival and comfort.. (food, water, shelter, climate control). Is it possible that this is a subconscious portrayal of the experience of existence within the womb? Is this a physical manifestation of a subconscious memory? I do tend to think in different ways and have many thoughts concerning everything. Please share your thoughts on my hypothesis.

I have heard similar theories. I think its pretty true. We sit in rocking chairs to simulate the rocking in the womb. Sitting on the couch watching TV, or looking out the window is like when we where held by our parents when they showed us the world. I think you got it right.

No, I think you are taking this theory too seriously.I think it is just common sense to live in a comfortable home instead of outside in the cold.

Does this also apply to test-tube babies?
