      It depends on what you mean by this question.

      Do you mean when you dream about something happening in your sleep, is it likely to happen? If so then no, that’s not the case. Which is lucky, because I have pretty weird dreams sometimes, and I wouldn’t like them to come true! Sometimes, by coincidence, we dream about something and then it happens, but that really is just a coincidence . The thing is, when it happens we remember about it and think maybe there’s a connection, but really there isn’t.

      But if you mean, can dreams come true if there’s something you dream about having, then if you work hard, don’t be scared of failure and put yourself out there ready to take any opportunity that comes along, then yes, you might be able to fulfill your dreams in that way. You have to work hard and believe in yourself.

      Hi mrspolly

      I’d agree with James V, if you have a dream have a go at achieving it, work hard, be determined and see what happens. You won’t have them all come true, but the ones that are best for you will happen.

      I guess for me personally, the dream of being a footballer didn’t last much past being 13, but others such as getting a place to study for a PhD have come true. I have other dreams now, some are probably not going to happen, but others well I’m working hard to get them!

      Whatever your dreams are, good luck!

      I tend to dream a lot when sleeping … but so far none of them have came true 🙂

      However, if you mean the dreams we have (when not sleeping) … then some have came true for me … like having a family who are all healthy and doing well, having great friends and a job i love getting out of my bed to go too.

      Here’s hoping that whatever your dreams are … they come true for you.

      Some of the dreams I have while im sleepig are pretty cool and I wish they would!!

      Like the others have said if you mean the types of dreams or goals that you want to acheive in life then anything is possible if you want it enough. The only person that can get you to where you want to be in life is yourself, so just go for it!! 🙂
