Your friends represent different parts of yourself. You are confronted with a new part of yourself, or a new situation, a new way of thinking. This is represented by the stranger. His smugness is either a self-righteous, conformist, or morally correct concept (at the beginning.) However, you see flaws in this piece of yourself that your conscious mind cannot see. First you notice soemthing that makes you unsure about it (the lack of a shirt) and then you see something that changes your mind. When you confront this facet of yourself it forces you into conflict (the bridge). Of course there is a war going on both sides. There is much conflict as you are trying to figure out what to think about this new aspect of your life.
Crossing the bridge could possibly mean that initially, you are handling this conflict well, but when you are across the bridge you continue to run from it. The marsh could be a difficulty in escaping the problem that confronts you.
At the time that one becomes lucid, one always loses some of the influence that the subconscious has on one's dream. This isn't a bad thing, but it does mean that a lucid dream usually has less symbolism in it, as one's conscious and subconscious mind both create aspects of the dream.
The conflict closes in for the kill, throwing things at you and actually affecting you now, as you are brazed by the rod (giggety). You are entangled in the net, so you can no longer run away from your problem.
In the end, the snapper could be the saving mechanism.. that part of your mind that prevents you from dying and thus ending the dream. I prefer to think that the conflict or problem that you were faced with was eliminated by an outside force. A third possibility is that when you were trying to think of something to keep him away, you conjured the snapper, and in this way defeated the conflict which ailed you.
But what the hell is a snapper? XD :p
