Also do you have a previous phobia of snakes. If you do then 1 very logical and analytical answer is. Your subconscious mind is trying to rectify this phobia. If the boy resembles you then it is a younger version of yourself trying to get you to not be afraid anymore. It would usually be in your best interest to give in to the object of the dream. I have to tell you that you are very fortunate to get dreams such as this. Based on the little info given here you are a very active dreamer. It is fortunate that you were able to recall the details of this very specific dream. Not many people would be able to perfectly recall all details of such a livid dream.
