In folk readings, a silent standoff is anger held without words — the household eating at the same table in quiet. Chinese lore treats the silence as heavier than the quarrel, since quiet that lasts has long stood for a real distance.
Psychologically, such dreams usually reflect unresolved tension you are carrying rather than what the other person feels. They often appear before a conversation you know is needed, and typically ease once something is actually said.
