    if used as a figurative (of a text), then dense means its hard to understand because of a complexity of ideas...
    if dense is used as figurative (of a person), then dense means that its difficult to explain anything to that person because they cant make sense of complex ideas (because their head is too dense or thick to get anything through)
    It does not mean stupid although it is often used to describe people who are also stupid. For example, a lawyer who argues what the word is means could be described as dense. Stupid is lacking in intelligence whereas dense infers that a persons head is too thick to teach anything to him/her.
    People who exhaust you by asking for further clarification on anything from policies and procedures by asking questions they wouldnt ask had they understood your previous answer to one of their previous questions are dense - their skulls are too thick to get anything through to their heads so they dont understand even the simplest lowest common denominator definitions!
    A dense person is the opposite of an airhead, although about as useful.
