Let sleeping dogs lie

What does “Let sleeping dogs lie” mean?
Let sleeping dogs lie is a recommendation to someone to leave things as they are and refrain from discussing a matter any further for fear of instigating trouble by restarting or rekindling old arguments or disagreements, which may well have been forgotten about; talking about these things could trigger hostilities that would likely alter an existing equilibrium and cause problems or complexities in the present.
