{Your Traveling Through Another Dimension......}

Greetings,

With all the recent discussion on the "Center of the {Known} Universe,"
and/or 3D(+) Space-Time, I thought I'd pose a question of my own.

 Namely WHAT, to the best of current knowledge, exactly is a dimension?
How are they defined, and what seperates them from the others? Is there
a "perceptable" border across dimensions, and if so what constitutes the
"barrier region" between them? Is it a "state of energy/matter" or am I
completely off base?

Please remember that I'M NOT an Expert in Astronomy and/or Cosmology.
If my questions are "meaningless" please excuse this lack of "expertise"
on my part.

 Thanks in advance for any & all help!
