Hello!

I'm thinking this dream has something to do with your childhood, the way you were raised, or ideas, opinions you adopted from that time. This is because you are going to the old "homestead".

The railroad track could represent a path that was laid out for you, but in this dream the railroad track is no longer there. This could mean that you did not take the path that your parents, or others expected you to take, but went your own way.

The child represents your male side. The age of the child is the age that you were when whatever these snakes may mean occurred. Were you still living there at the age of the child?

What the snakes mean is hard to say. They are not poisonous which seems to be a good thing. Also you are not afraid of them, also a good sign. Because of their form they can be some sort of sexua| symbol.

As a positive symbol, snakes represent healing, transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive change.

I hope this helps you to a better understanding of your dream.

I know absolutely nothing about dream interpretation but I thought I would take a stab at this. The way I imagine this scene is some brown leaves around, patches of frost on the ground, you are on the right side, your son on the left. The snakes crossing your path is like a river, a black river. The black river represents the flow of your life in the past, especially your childhood. Now you are on a different path and you are no longer polluted by the experience of your past. You look at the snakes with no fear, they are no longer a part of your experience, but you still don't want to walk over them because you don't want to pollute yourself with the past.

So strange... I had a dream almost exactly like that!!!!
