Can I say the follwing sentence?

Hello, everyone.

Can I say "The realization of what he dream of is possible in his dream."?

Dictionaries usually don't have examples where the noun "realization" as the meaning of "come true" can have a clause as the object of the preposition "of" like "what he dream of" in the above. Dictionaries usually have "It was the realization of his greatest ambition." or "the realization of political goals". They are all nouns.
However, In the case of "We saw the terrible realization of what she'd done dawn on her face. " from a dictionary, it has a clause as a object. The dictionary say in this case the "realization" is "know" or "reconize". I manage to see they are different, but I wonder if I can say "The realization of what he dream of is possible in his dream.".

Help me, please. English has gotten more and more difficult to me . ??(This is a emocon of crying or bursting into tears in South Korea. What is the version in English? I think I have to use it more frequently.??)

"? Yes, but your sentence needs other work. I have changed it to what I think you mean, though it still verges on a truism: The realization of what he dreams is possible only in his dreams .
