While that is a great Santayana quote, and very wise parable in it's own right, that is totally separate from what Orwell is saying here.
What Orwell means is that history is written, re-written, and even completely changed at will by those currently in power. By being powerful (and it is implied, corrupt) enough to change history, you can control and manipulate the public as you see fit, motivating them to do as you will, thereby controlling the future.

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.
