The shell is a command line environment (a bit like the Windows DOS prompt) that allows you to perform advanced housekeeping tasks directly on the DreamHost server where your files are based. You connect to the shell with the SSH protocol, using a client such as PuTTY. You need to enable shell access before attempting this, but once you are connected you will be able to execute various UNIX commands. This is quite an advanced approach, so please be sure you know what you are doing before you attempt anything.
