Pip's dreams came true when a benefactor steps in and gives him the gentlemanly education he dreamed of, thus, providing him with a means of income.

His dreams of becoming rich come true when he inherits Magwitch's fortune, although, the fact that Magwitch is his benefactor leaves him confused. He doesn't want a criminal's money...... and yet, how can he refuse as he is deeply in debt.

In the end, Pip has received what he always wanted but has a difficult time coming to terms with the way he received them.
