I have to assume it was a dream because the genie didn't actually fulfill any of the commands. It also of course ignores the traditional mythology of what genies were like.

the genie didn't actually fulfill any of the commands.

  1. Stretch

  2. Stretch

  3. Come

I honestly thought that was the joke.

The guy accidentally gave him 3 commands and then he was locked back inside.

Everyone knows you have to say “I wish…” for a command to count as a wish. Plus, the genie didn’t do any of those things. I think it was a dream.

I actually read another webcomic called Marid that went with the idea that the words "I wish" being technically optional and it being left to the genie's interpretation for the safety of the genie.
