Explanation

The sentence contrasts being a successful athlete as something imagined or wished for with something that is actually true. The thesaurus lists “reality” as an antonym of “dream,” and the speaker’s three championships show that athletic success is real, not imaginary. So “reality” best completes the sentence.
