A dimension in a system of units is something like length, weight or time, without considering how to assign numerical values ot them, which requires units of measurement such as the meter, kilogram or second.
Talking about dimensions can be useful when explaining new derived units without worrying about the exact units involved. See e.g. this table: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lumen_(unit)&oldid=1233810964#SI_photometric_units
