If you dream it, it is so

Question

Ï am tying to say

"If you dream it, it is so"

it is not meant to be necessarily 2nd person

the best i can come up with is:

"Soñar con algo lo hace ser tan" - to dream of something makes it to be so

Im unsure of the use of tan in this situation.

another sentence i am at a loss to translate is:

"I realized that i could love them, learn from them, fear for them, even despise them just like real people."

I am struggling with the sentence structure

any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Im also taking in consideration Drew's original spanish interpretation: 'Soñar con algo lo hace ser...

Tienes razón. Había pasado por alto eso.

Answer 2

You can make your dreams come true.
All the sentences have a closely related meaning...maybe not exactly, but close...so you can use the one that best resembles your idea.

I am tying to say

"If you dream it, it is so"

woajiaorobert's translations are good, but I'm not sure they mean what the English does. Could you tell us exactly what you are trying to express? That is, are you trying to say "dreaming something makes it a reality," as woajiaorobert interpreted it'

Answer 5

What are "they" supposed to be? Animals? Pets?

Me doy cuenta de que les puedo amar, aprender de ellos, preocuparme por ellos, hasta detestarles como si fuesen personas de verdad.

If you are talking about puppets then maybe you can ended like:

...,hasta detestarles como si fuesen seres reales.
...,hasta detestarles como a un semejante.

Answer 9

Soñar es vivir.
Soñar con algo lo transforma en realidad.
Soñar con algo lo hace ser real.
Los sueños se hacen realidad.
I would keep TAN away from this sentence, unless it can be used as exclamation.
!Soñar es tan real!
...as the example you give: "...to dream of something makes it be so REAL".
