I think I can reassure you first by explaining that you are not having a prophetic dream of betrayal by your boyfriend, nor do these characters in the dream represent individuals in any sense except in your feelings and attitudes. We dream nearly exclusively about ourselves, which is natural because our minds can't really go inside another person and reveal their feelings--only our own.
Your dream represents your fears/anxieties about being betrayed. This is not unusual when you care about someone. In a dream, when your rational mind quiets, these fears magnify to a level where we recognize them.
Animals are enigmatic in a dream, but I will suggest that the snake represents your jealous self. I see this in dreams where a Jungian self-character (in this case, a snake) looks into the eyes of the dreamer, almost always at face level, like looking into a mirror. Your perception of the snake as human reinforces this idea of the snake as an aspect of your psyche.
Most of us consider jealousy a negative attitude, as you seem to in the dream. You fear that it will hurt you, and you attempt to get rid of it, but it bites you anyway, demonstrating its tenacity. Jealousy, after all, is a powerful emotion that few of us conquer or outwit.
Kitchens can represent a place of warmth, safety, companionship, spiritual/emotional needs being met. This is where families gather, and where we feed our physical need, thus our emotional need in a dream. The last, small scene may picture your desire for emotional security.
I hope my comments give you another perspective. Certainly, your own perceptions and feelings can refine the meaning of the dream further. Good luck and blessings.
