Yes, you can. There is just one Mary, so you would write either "Mary's dream" or "Mary's dreams". Both are correct.

There is definitely NO apostrophe on the S of dreams. The better wording would be something like "All Mary's dreams will come true" but "Mary's dreams will come true" is grammatically correct.

Mary's dream will come true
Mary's dreams will come true
are both correct. Never use an apostrophe to make a plural.

That is correct. You use an 's after Mary to designate that the dreams belong to her. You use an "s' with dream to designate that there is more than one.

Yes, you can put an s. Do NOT add an apostrophe - apostrophes are only for possessives.

yes,
either dream or dreams is right.
"dreams" is more approprieate because one person will have more than one dream!
