How can I write the regexp to match multiple words in random order?

For example, let's assume the following lines:

Dave Imma Car Pom Dive
Dive Dome Dare
Imma Car Ryan
Pyro Dave Imma Dive
Lunar Happy Dave

I want to search the string for the one matching "Dave" "Imma" and "Dive", expecting the 1st and 4th line. Is this possible?
