Cognitive dissonance is usually understood as when an experience undercuts a cherished belief. Leon Festinger's "Theory of Cognitive Dissonance" is where that began. SeeWikipedia
Similarly, "People hold a multitude of cognitions simultaneously, and these cognitions form irrelevant, consonant or dissonant relationships with one another." http://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/stephens/cdback.html

Both sentences imply that dissonance occurs when cognition occurs. I believe this happens in the Formative moment, your "now", when one apprehends, objectifies, and interprets what is on their minds. Beliefs shape perceptions as much as perceptions shape beliefs.
Besides, isn't cognition thinking?
Or, so I believe,
