Jeremy Nation
somnia in res transeunt
Explanation:
Dear Jeremy,

here is a simple way to put it into Latin.

Somnia: Dreams (subject)
in res transeunt: come true
(literally: go over to reality)

Transeo (to go over) is used also as "to become/turn into something) with the accusative syntagm "in + accusative noun".

"Transit in saxum": it turns to stone

Hope this helps!

Flavio
