I don't know what would count as "intuitive meaning" for you.
But I conclude from your phrasing that you believe you already
have a grasp on the "intuitive meaning" of the 2-dimensional
inner product. In that case, you know all you need to know!
For, given two vectors in a Euclidian space of dimension 3
or more (or a Hilbert space), they always lie in a 2-dimensional
subspace, which inherits a Euclidian structure from the ambient
3-or-more-dimensional space.
