It seems to me that the idea of consciousness could be explored separately through the gaming world that many become deeply immersed in. Learning the faux-history of a character to be played is as close as one can get to experiencing it at first glance. The experience does not stop here though. As days lead to months lead to years, the histrionic impression becomes more about the action portrayed while immersed 'as' this character. Though there are certain elements we would exclude from the complete idea of a consciousness, it seems that a single person can become many if given time enough.
We may be limiting ourselves by not exploring more about what this means to the original personality traits of the previously single individual. If used long enough, it seems plausible that personality traits would be passed from one person to another. Could this be a way to exploit commonality among humans? Or are the personalities created typically more extreme versions of our opinions in life and the new traits might instead be ones that cause harm to others and ourselves when incorporated into real life. It seems like most things there is an interesting study to be done... to bad as a society we put so much more money into other things...
