Yes, but they aren't actually stars. A shooting star is the common name for the visible path of a meteoroid as it enters the atmosphere. A shooting star is also broken pieces of meteors that have become broken off in space.
Also, for those who ask do they make your dreams come true they really don't because stars are not really stars and when they come down to earth its a meteor shower.

∙ 13y agoShooting stars are real, but as you suggest, they're not stars. Technically, they're
not asteroids either. They're much smaller than that ... the vast majority of them
are anywhere from a grain of sand to possibly the size of, say, a refrigerator.
They're called shooting stars because as they burn up in earth's atmosphere, they
look like stars that are moving or falling, definitely not because they're the size of
stars or anywhere close to it.

Do shooting stars collide with other stars?
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere. As they fly through our atmosphere they briefly look stars, which is how the names shooting or falling stars have come about, but they are not stars. Were such a piece of dirt to head toward a star, it would burn up long before it got anywhere close to it, so it could not hit it. A shooting star is usually what most call meteors and burn up in earths atmosphere giving the appearance of a falling star.
