implies the Person resembles or is like the son of man. If it was meant to say the Son of man as Jesus it wouldn't need the "homoios"...

- Art

Like unto the Son of man is better rendered as, 'like unto a son of man', i.e., resembling a man, being in human form or a human being. There is no article in the Greek so the writer is saying that the person resembled him in form. He doesn't begin by stating that it is Jesus because the man he saw was in a vision.
