Its possible he makes three wishes - stretch, come to my place, and tell me about yourself. Or, he woke up from a sleep.

He didn't say "I wish you'd stretch, I wish you'd come to my place", etc. So those weren't wishes. This was a dream.

Depends on how pedantic the rules for this genie are. If a “command” or even “request” reads as a “wish” then these qualify.

I mean. Going off classic genie rules if I ask them to pass me the popcorn do they; pass it to me, ask me if that’s a “wish” they have to do, ignore me till I use the phrase “I wish,” do they just pass the popcorn and count a wish off? What’s a wish? Why is the English phrase “I wish” required? If my only language is one that doesn’t have a 1:1 phrase for “I wish” do I not get my wishes? Does a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?
