Which is correct?

Has any of your dream come true?

or

Have any of your dreams come true?

You should also have added the original sentence because of which the question came up. The original one was (a title of a thread started by me): Has any of your dreams come true? The meaning I wanted to put in the sentence was whether at least one of your dreams had come true.

I 'd plump for:
