They're all okay by me.  The first one is a compound noun:  "She is my dream-come-true!"  (I'm not sure about the hyphens.)

If you want #'s 2,3,&4 to be sentences, you must capitalize the "M" and place a period at the end.

Thanks Avangi

What about  The dream come true

Our dream come true ?


or

The dream has come true

Our dream has come true ?

and if someone is "slang" what is it ?

No, "My dream come true" is not correct grammar as a stand-alone sentence. Dream is 3rd person singular, and requries "comes."

What about  The dream come true As GG has said, it's not a sentence.

Our dream come true ?   (as a question)  Has our dream come true?

or

The dream has come true     (okay   -   Needs a period.)

Our dream has come true ?     (as a question)  Has our dream come true?

and if someone is "slang" what is it ? Low register street talk

Pisces

Finally , my dream has come true

is it right ??”

Two things:

No space before the comma, and end it with a period or exclamation mark.
Finally, my dream has come true!
Finrally, my dream has come true.
