Human Understanding (Locke) page 64 (12)

"We have here, then, the bodies of two men with only one soul between them, which we will suppose to sleep and wake by turns; and the soul still thinking in the waking man, whereof the sleeping man is never conscious, has never the least perception.... Just by the same reason they make the soul and the man two persons, who make the soul think apart what the man is not conscious of." 

What Im getting between my last blog post and this one is that the soul and the man are two beings and that the soul travels between two men in turns of the conscious man. How can the soul be its own being if the conscious man is reflecting on his surroundings and these reflections taking a part of his mind and body? Where does the soul get its character in a sense or how can it have its own identity?
