A dormant gene is one that is present but inactive. An example of this would be when a baby is conceived by a blue eyed and brown eyed parent. The child will have brown eyes. This is because the brown eyed gene is dominant and the blue eyed gene will lay dormant.

How does a person with one sickle cell different than two Sickle cell?
A person with one sickle cell is a "carrier". This means that they have the dormant cell in their genetic composition, and if combined with another with the "carrier" gene, they run the high risk on concieving a child with the blood disease-one who has two sickle cells. A person with two sickle cells, has the sickle cell disease and are carriers(The gene is not dormant but active). Hope this simplifies and explains it for you.
