To the Questioner,
It is difficult to ascertain wheter your son's dream was a true one since it is hard to determine from a child's perspective whether the criteria that make it a true dream were present (e.g. that he wasn't thinking about this during the days preceeding the dream
In any case, even if it was a true dream, it sounds from your letter that you constantly anticipate that the dream should come true. However, this factor alone, can hold it back from coming true
The Gemara in Brachos (32b) says that if a person actively anticipates the fulfillment of a desired result, that it only brings about heartache (meaning that the actual result is held back from taking place
Therefore it is much better that you do not think about it, don't even buy tickets all the time, just sometimes when it happens to be right in front of you, and even then try your best not to think whatsoever about the result.
With Bracha,
Rav Nachum
