Do you mind holding while I see what I can do?

I've been remembering my dreams more lately probably because I have been relaying them to David. I don't always try to interpret meaning from them but I think he believes they are always trying to tell us something.  

So I haven't told him the one I had last night because I think I can interpret it on my own... At the end of it, I was at work and answered a phone call. Guy wanted info, I explained some things,  and he immediately asked for a "deal." I told him we only discount under special circumstances, but he was persistent.  It was after hours, so I was wanting to get off the phone but for some reason I couldn't end the conversation. I liked talking to him.  I don't know why but his name was Tristan. I told him to let me see what I can do,  and I put him on "hold" because my coworkers needed my help.  I did not "see what I can do" by the time I came back (because I knew his request could not be granted),  and I told him I couldn't help at the time but to give me his information and I would call him back. He kept telling me the numbers in his phone number in a different sequence every time I asked him to repeat it. He was distracted by something off the phone and about to hang up but I hadn't fully gotten his information yet, so I yelled, "Tristan!?" to catch him from hanging up, which worked I think.  But I still never got a good phone number to call him back. 

Just seems a bit metaphorical to my current situation with David.
