How else could any one make it an inference of mine, that a thing is not, because we are not sensible of it in our sleep?
I do not say there is no SOUL in a man, because he is not sensible of it in his sleep; but I do say, he cannot THINK at any time, waking or sleeping, without being sensible of it.

Our being sensible of it is not necessary to anything but to our thoughts; and to them it is; and to them it always will be necessary, till we can think without being conscious of it.
11.

It is not always conscious of it.
I grant that the soul, in a waking man, is never without thought, because it is the condition of being awake.

But whether sleeping without dreaming be not an affection of the whole man, mind as well as body, may be worth a waking man's consideration; it being hard to conceive that anything should think and not be conscious of it.

If the soul doth think in a sleeping man without being conscious of it, I ask whether, during such thinking, it has any pleasure or pain, or be capable of happiness or misery?
I am sure the man is not; no more than the bed or earth he lies on.
