Obstacle courses in your dreams are a symbol of the challenges you are facing in your waking life. Perhaps, the things you have overcome lately in order to get where you are at the moment. 

However, whether the dream brings a negative message or advice,  try to deal with it diligently. On the other hand, if it’s a positive message, just be grateful and continue being the way you are.
