Dream of building, person

I was stuck in a compound and there was me and someone else. We were each given a pieces of paper with writing on it. It was a series of symbols and I had to figure out what it was. The other person found that his was ingredients to a drink while mine was a lot harder to interpret. I kept searching and don't know how how I found the meaning but I went to the person holding me in the building and said mines means expansion of the mind. The person seemed very pleased and the dark building that had a depressing feel now felt very positive and lit up after finding the answer.
