    We're in all the dimensions. When scientists talk about dimensions, they're talking about up/down, right/left, forward/back, and time, and sometimes really tiny other spacial dimensions - not dimensions like other worlds like on Buffy or something.

    We don't really know, do we?

    As human beings, we know about space because we can see it and we can move in it. But one could imagine intelligent life not knowing space because not needing to know it.

    As human being, we know about time because we have memory and we can record an event after or before another. But one could imagine intelligent life with knowledge but not memory.

    And maybe there are other dimensions we don't know of and perhaps never will simply because our biological nature doesn't enable us to.

    Let me give you an example: We observe space and time. But separately. Try to imagine the real space-time web described by Relativity: Wherever we are, we are at the center of the universe. You can't make a drawing of that because any drawing takes something as a reference; the upper left corner of the paper or whatever. True space-time web can only be described if we remove one spacial dimension. Then we can say that e.g. we are like a fish swimming in the ocean of a planet without continents: always in the center of it. But, add the fourth dimension and we can't see it nor represent it.

    We're in the 4th dimension, The first 3 dimensions are to do with length width and height, the 4th is time.

    So technically we're traveling through the 4th dimension with the ability to perceive and interact with the lower three.

    Each individual human mind is completely unique. It is to my belief that each mind is another "balooned" universe that Hawking so famously described. Each person has his or her own sense of reality, and perhaps each level of conciousness is another demension. The human brain has no limit of storage, unlike its electronic computer counterpart, meaning that it is infinite, giving it enough space to form a universe of its own. Science currently has no way of fully measuring the mysteries of the mind, and maybe never will. Perhaps the "visible" universe is simply a deeply hidden thought in the back of the mind of another strange form of conciousness, one which we have know way of ever knowing about at all. This is where many get an idea of a higher power, aka "God," or the "toenail" example. Either way, I wouldn't worry myself over such thoughts, for these areas of science and metaphysics have no way of being proved or disproved. And that is what science is all about. I am absolutely confident that we will know for certain which dimension we are currently in, but only after the fact, in good time... that is, after we die.
