I would say: "I have always dreamed of becoming an actress or a singer. My ambition is to be a word-famous entertainer."
You don't need the "been dreaming." Only use the present perfect continuous if your talking about a period of time, i.e "I have been dreaming of becoming an actress for years." (though here it would still be better to use the present perfect simple)
