Implicit means, basically, something that isn't said, but is perfectly understood all the same. It's similar to 'Implied' and the opposite of explicit.

If I say to you "Don't touch the pan, it's hot!" then I'm explicitly telling you what you need to know.

If I say to you "The stove is on." then I'm leaving it to you to understand implicitly that what I just said means that the pan on the stove is hot, and I'm telling you this so you wont burn yourself.

You probably have lots of implicit understandings in your life - topics that you and another person wont bring up, or agreements between friends that you've never really talked about, but you all honor.

I'm not sure why someone would say 'Implicit dialogue'. It's both redundant and a bit contradictory. Maybe if you tell us a bit more about where you found this phrase we'd be able to help you make sense of it.

I THINK implicit means non-spoken and dialogue is conversation or si,ilar, so maybe it means an unspoken conversation/ This might be when you guess what someone is trying to say by their body language or what they're NOT saying. It's hard to explain it but I've read an email joke thing that uses words women say that mean very different things to the usual meanings.
Hope this helps and I haven't totally muddled you up! Best wishes X.
