God’s Paradox
I have come to a conclusion about events and awareness, as well as sustained interest in such events… I call it God’s Paradox, because I compared it to a child hood memory of mine. I would always believe I had wings, because I had asked God for them… but when I felt like I was about to get them, and I noticed I was about to get them, they disappeared. Thus being conscious of the event stopped the event from happening. This is a paradox, because there is no possible way to not notice the event.
_________________________________________________________________
God’s Paradox: As awareness of an event is gained, interest in the event decreases.
Corollary to God’s Paradox: Interest is gained through Irrational Thought. Thus the end of interest is the beginning of Rational Thought and the End of Imagination.
Second Corollary: Rational Thought begins when interest is lost.
Third Corollary: There is an inevitable beginning of Rational Thought during an event. This triggers the end of an event due to lost interest.
Fourth Corollary: The length of time any given event lasts is determined by the length of time that Irrational Thought controls the event.
Fifth Corollary: Loss of interest/Irrational Thought and gaining of Rational Thought is sudden and instantaneous as soon as a person comes to a Rational Decision.
Sixth Corollary: Rational Decision triggers the eventual quick end of an event.
Final Corollary: There is an inevitable end to all given events in any situation.

Interesting paradox, I completely disagree, but interesting.
But then again it really depends on what you specifically mean by interest and event. Also it depends on if this paradox is considered only when one is dreaming, then I’ll have to say I agree for the most part.
If this pertains only to dreams then this makes perfect sense, Dreams are in general a state in which we are perhaps our most irrational. Dreams in which things make immediate or any sense are few and far between, at least it is in my experience with dreams, but I gather that that is the general consensus.
I know I myself have had many situations in dreaming in which I realize something only to have it change, most often this happens such that when I realize that I’m dreaming, I wake up.
But then again I have had instances when dreaming where I realize I am dreaming and then attempt to control what occurs, there is usually initial success, which is then met with failure the moment I think of something that I don’t want to happen, which then happens regardless of how much I resist it.
In short in dreams our imaginations are usually in control, which leads to all kinds of weirdness.
But I can’t take this paradox for when a person is awake, I can’t even begin to describe how many things I’ve been interested in, facts, events, stories, and been thinking rationally in which I would only become even more interested as I progressed in reading the information in question. Then it would happen often in which even after I am done reading in which I continue to be amazed and interested in said topic and my mind pretty much goes into overdrive, positing possibilities, thinking up solutions if there are problems, in all trying to process this new information.
To be honest I’m a little saddened about that dream, because the thing in which I’m most interested, and continue to be fanatically interested when thinking (whether rationally or irrationally) is God.
Again to be honest, I’m also a little jealous of you, I’ve never in my life had a dream in which I related to God at all during the context of the dream, and I’ve had my fair share of prayers. Often for things one might not normally pray about. Simple things even, things that an ordinary human being should be able to do himself, some of which I manage to do, some of which I fail miserably time and time again.
Truly, and I include myself when I say this, there is nothing more paradoxical than man, and if there is anything paradoxical about God is that he continues to love us, even more than the other things and creatures he created, when we do nothing but rebel against him and hate him. But then again, I guess that’s why I find him so fascinating.
I hope you find your wings one day.
