Although it would usually be best to have some additional general background information about you in order to provide an accurate interpretation, from what you’ve written it looks like the friend in the dream could represent an inner part of yourself that’s been stirred up by the upsetting breakup that you’ve just gone through.
For example, the “she” possibility of the person could represent your natural feelings of compassion and acceptance of others (wants to hug you).
The “he” side could symbolize a kind of fixed idea or opinion something like “I must never think of myself when trying to help someone else” etc.
Maybe you haven’t had to experience this inner situation for some time (haven’t seen the friend for a while) but the current state of affairs has apparently resulted in a very basic instinctive response in you (the green snake wants to bite you).
A bite usually symbolizes that the dreamer has tended to drift too far away from a healthy overall inner balance and could suffer a “bite” in the practical way of unpleasant physical or psychological symptoms.
For instance, while the bouts of crying that you experienced could be normal and acceptable in the circumstances, it’s also possible that, depending on your general emotional and psychological makeup, they might point to a small “bite” of depression.
If so, the dream might be showing that it would be best to sort of follow your basic wariness of snakes and not wanting to expose yourself to being bitten by being careful regarding the relationship with your depressed friend.
He may indeed sense that you could be too susceptible to being dragged down by the problems surrounding his illness, especially if he isn’t receiving the help that he needs.
So it looks like you’ll just have to look inside to see how much contact with your friend that you can sustain, given your innate ability to handle such stress.
Anyway as mentioned, without knowing anything much about you, this way of looking at your dream might not fit your personal circumstances very well but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way.
