It probably means your transmission is about to fail....which means you will be sitting on the side of the road. To avoid this, you need to decide if you are just going to drive it till it dies, or drain and flush the atf with a new filter and a can of trans no slip and hope that this will delay the day it dies or finally, go to a trans shop and get their advice, which will be that you need a reco trans...$2000 or thereabouts.
The more you drive it the worse it will get as the slipping overheats the oil which then degrades the oil etc.....
Mine failed 1500km from home, and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
Good Luck.

firstly, check/replace your CAS (crank angle sensor) / TPS (throttle body positioning sensor).

following that, suss out your auto fluid levels/condition (if its any color but cherry red - your autos probably toast) and if needbe be prepared consult a pro.
