The definition of "Dissent" is to hold or express opinions that go against those of another person or group. In other words, it means to disagree or differ with someone else's opinions.
Within the whole concept of the poem is Yeats' dissent towards what others believe the Second Coming is. He explains in lines 9 and 10 what other people think when they hear about the Second Coming, but then follows it with his dissagreeing opinion, showing his dissent against what they believe. For example, he describes his vision of the spirit being evil and monster-like rather than brave and heroic.
