Thank you Skrej. I know the meaning of the sentence, just confused of the grammar as a nonnative speaker.'A dream come true' or the variant 'X is a dream come true' are both very common and completely natural phrases.
As to the sentence in question - I don't think the poster itself was the dream come true (although that's how it's literally phrased), but rather the opportunity offered by the poster.
Grammatically, it's a noun phrase, not a sentence. I'll borrow SoothingDave's reply in #5:Thank you Skrej. I know the meaning of the sentence, just confused of the grammar as a nonnative speaker.
"A dream came true. A dream will come true. A dream comes true. " are all understandable. but "A dream come true"?
and how to understand this structure grammatically, "X is +a full sentence."?
