come true

Become reality finally

To come true is to actually happen as hoped or predicted.

Dreams, wishes, and prophecies come true when reality matches what was imagined or foretold: Her dream of becoming a doctor finally came true.

The phrase implies something desired or anticipated, not merely expected—plans succeed, but wishes come true.
