| Dec 25, 2015 at 18:28 | comment | added | CowperKettle | a dream come true is an idiom. It serves as an indivisible noun phrase. Idioms are usually not analyzed as sum of their parts, although "come true" could be said to function as a postpositive adjective. Or the whole could be seen as an ellipsis of "a dream [that has] come true". | |
