Hey, guys! I've heard this phrase in films: "Dream come true" and I just would like you to explain to me how this is possible? I mean it obviously exists, but for example if I say: "Á dream that comes true' or a 'Dream coming true', that wouldn't be wrong, would it?

When this phrase is typically used, the definition of "dream" is a condition of achievement that is longed for, or hoped for, not the images and ideas that occur while sleeping.
With that in mind, all of the following are common:
"It is a dream come true!"
"Dreams do come true if you work hard enough."
"This is my dream coming true!"
