          Is it something like I wish you something?




          No, it means that one should wish something for yourself.
          I think the translation make a wish is a pretty good fit.




          Why is dir there?




          Wünschen is in this sentence a reflexive verb: sich etwas wünschen - that's where the dir originates from:




          Du wünschst dir etwas.




          Now this sentence is a demand, so the imperative form wünsch(e) has to be used:




          Wünsch dir (et)was!




          Information about the conjugation of the verb can be found on several websites, for example the duden.
