"Behold the dreamer" originated from the Old Testament story of Joseph, one of twelve sons of Jacob. Joseph was the second youngest in his family, and had dreams about the future in which his brothers and parents would all bow down to him. This, together with the fact that Joseph was clearly his father's favourite, did not exactly endear him to his brother, and they plotted to get rid of him. When his father sent him out into the fields one day to find his brothers, they saw him from a distance and said "Behold the dreamer comes".
Essentially, the saying has come to simply mean, "Look at that fellow over there with his head in the clouds, and absolutely no understanding of practical reality". It's a disparaging reference to someone who has great ideas which never come to fruition.

What does this quote mean- you are never given a dream without the power to make it come true?
This quote carries quite a few assumptions. As stated, it means that dreams are given to the dreamer by a supernatural being that also provides the dreamer with the ability to make the dream manifest in the real world. However, the quote does NOT distinguish a "dream" that occurs during sleep from a "dream" in the sense of a hope or goal for the future. The quote does not specify who the giver of dreams might be or how that giver also provides power to make dreams come true. There is nothing about this quote to indicate that it is anything but a pretty sentiment of the sort commonly found on greeting cards.
