Ruth,

  It depends on whether you want the client process (eg the sqlplus process) or the shadow process identifier.

You find the first one as column PROCESS in V$SESSION, and identify the row either by the SID (session identifier) or by saying AUDSID = SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'SESSIONID') to identify the currently running session.
The second one is column SPID in V$PROCESS, and you can join V$SESSION to V$PROCESS by saying V$SESSION.PADDR = V$PROCESS.ADDR.
