An accelerator or gas pedal (or something else that feeds fuel to an engine) can represent: Your ability to move forward and make progress in life.

The idea of making quicker progress toward a goal.

A desire to escape a situation more quickly.

An accelerator that’s not working can represent a perceived obstacle or a lack of empowerment, motivation, or energy.

An accelerator stuck in the “full-on” position can represent feeling out of control or not able to slow down in some aspect of your life.

The accelerator in a car or other mechanism is the structure that is engineered to increase your speed and therefore get you to your desired goal that much faster.

If one is featured in a dream, you may need to increase your efforts around a particular project.

If the accelerator is broken or malfunctioning, you will need to do some more investigation to see why you are experiencing a block. Too much acceleration may indicate a need to slow down or back off the pressure to move too fast in some area of your life.

An accelerator or gas pedal or throttle on a boat and possibly even an airplane, can be an indication that you will achieve your objectives with little outside help other then your own efforts. However if the accelerator is jammed or broken and you lost control of it, it is a warning not to develop a habit which could turn into a most unwanted vice.
