Dream come true

Meaning:

This is an easy one to understand because it means exactly what it says - a dream, or something that you really want, becomes real. We are not talking about dreams that we have at night when we sleep. When we say the word "dream" in this expression, we are talking about something that we've always wanted to have or something that we've always wanted to happen.

Example sentences:

1. It's a dream come true.
2. It was a dream come true.
3. It would be a dream come true.

Example dialogue:

A young married couple is speaking about their future.

A: I'd love to buy that house in the country.
B: Yes, dear. I'd love it too. We should make an offer we can afford and see what happens.
A: OK. But we shouldn't have high expectations because I think it's more expensive than we can afford.
B: Yeah, I know, but wouldn't it be a dream come true if we got it?
A: Yes, it sure would. It would be a dream come true.
