Oh okaythat actually makes more sense, so dimensions are just separate ways of providing information about something in relation to something else?

effectively, yep.it's a method of describing the properties of something, at least in maths. I'm not so sure about multideminsional physics, but I assume it's the same.
the tricky thing is that in reality, none of the properties that these dimensions describe have anything to do with something we can visualise, they are just "properties" .. but it works to think of them like colour, etc.
