It basically means that the plantiff has taken no action regarding the case in a certain time frame since it was filed, and the court is stating that the case will be dismissed if no further action is taken by stated deadline.
For instance, if person A sues person B, and after a few weeks of activity, person A makes no motions or any other activity for months on end, then the courts can issue a notice of intent to dismiss due to lack of prosecution.
The time frame for this to occur is different in each jurisdiction (state, federal), but the principle is the same; that the plantiff takes no action in a case for a given period of time.

You have been warned not to sit around any more, but to respond to whatever has been served on you or to file the document required under the court's rules, which is probably overdue if you're getting a notice like that. Many courts have pro se clerks who can help you figure out what it is you are supposed to do next. Many states, like California, have forms of all the required court documents online. With a little effort, you should be able to avoid having the case dismissed. Winning may be a different story.

It means that they're getting ready to get ready to dismiss.
