how to “make a dream come true” in Hebrew

 
The root of this one comes from גֶּשֶׁם (GEH-shem), the Hebrew word for rain.
 
To make it rain – or, to make something materialize is לְהַגְשִׁים (le-hahg-SHEEM). For example, הַחֲלוּצִים הִגְשִׁימוּ אֶת חֲלוֹמָם (hah-khah-loo-TSEEM heeg-SHEE-moo et khah-loh-MAHM) – the pioneers made their dream come true (literally, realized their dream).
 
This is the הפעיל (heef-EEL) usage of the root. To say dreams are coming true, you’d use the התפעל form, saying, חֲלוֹמוֹת מִתְגַּשְּׁמִים (khah-loh-MOHT meet-gahsh-MEEM).
