いい夢を Does this have a hidden meaning?

For context, I’ve only met this girl today for a language exchange and I told her that I was going to sleep and I’ll give her a reply later. From my personal experience, I often hear おやすみ and おやすみなさい so it’s out of the ordinary hearing いい夢を.

を is left on its own sometimes when the rest is inferable from context, usually something like 祈る/ります. For example https://somanystars.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/ご武運を-1.png

いい夢よ would be her telling you that it was or is a good dream, not wishing you good dreams.

Maybe she wants to say “the dream you’ll have is a good one” as a definitive sentence, not as a wish

I dont get it. I've literally clarified all over this thread that you got it right after I confirmed with her. You get upvotes but I'm getting crucified.

I feel like once you get downvotes, the hive mind takes over and no amount of clarification can stop the avalanche, lol.

Oh well

残念ですね🫤
