Great question - and a hard one. I am only speculating here, buit this question has come up over and over in my life and I have come to terms with how "I see it".
You are I are both very familiar with something that is both a thing and a non-thing. A photon is a wave (non-thing) until it interacts with a thing, then it becomes also measurable as a thing. Electrons are the other one. Flip a switch one electron bumps into another until one bumps some light bulb. But grab it by hand and it feels like a wave - or just energy.
The image below has different electron shell displayed. First yr chemistry students are taught that electrons are tiny shperes orbiting the atom as the planets orbit a sun. Later, they learn that it is like that at all - each layer of electrons form clouds of energy about the atom. S shell, P shells, D, E, and F shells. Each becoming more weird in shape as they morph about the atom forming additional clouds of energy shells. Yet, in essence all occupying the same space. Overlapping and morphing about one another within the diameter of the atom itself.
I am a multidimensionalist - I do see our reality as a multi-verse. Here is my example.
At the heart of every electron shell is still the center of the atom. In a way - the very center of the atom is common ground for all electron clouds or shells.
Now look at us - here we are you and I as a 3 dimensional creatures.
Look it up for yourself - by the very textbook definitions of dimensions:
The first dimension is that single point in space that contains all points. All data - All knowledge. Which a Bible dictionary will tell you is the definition of Omniscience. The first attribute of God's persona.
The Father. The God Head. The guy that said' "let us make man in our image"
The second dimension is a plane - and Omnipresent plane. that thing of the universe that forms the very essence of space - the matrix or either of it all. Sort of like (but NOT) the newly discovered Higgs-Boson.
When God said, "He created ..." - christendom see God making somthing from nothing." However, the Hebrew actually says, "He fattened ..." - and the orthodox Jew will tell you that God fattened - enlarged - what was already there. The matrix of it all.
Omnipresent - just as the second persona of God is omnipresent as the Holy Spirit. The part of "let us" that was breathed into man to make him a living being.
The third attribute of God's persona is that He is Omnipotent - All Powerful. - In the beginning was the Word, the word was God and thew Word was with God, and through the Word all things were created. -
The first dimensional all knowing God expressed through the second dimensional matrix of the universe to give rise to our 3 dimensional reality.
The Dust portion of "let us" that formed man.
God - The Father - Omniscience
Holy Spirit - Omnipresent
Christ and our 3 D reality - Omnipotent
The first 3 dimensions form the religious Trinity that confuse so many people (because they are not multidimensionalist)
Now envision the number, shapes, and interactions of heavy elements with 100 electrons or more - yet all occupying the same space.
Just as you and I are occupying at least 3 dimensions right now.
Add to this another dimension. What would a fourth dimensional creature be? It would occfupy all these 3 - the same as we do - plus 1 more. I think of Star Tex every time I think of this. How many episodes were there where someone is out of phase with the rest. We can not see them or hear them - yet they can see us and hear us. - Almost ghostly.
Add another dimension - 5th dimension - what would that be like? Well certianly more removed from a 3 D hard thing and more to and out of phase essence? Just my speculation.
Describe it any way that works for you - one of these days we are going to find out as we cross over to another dimension one of these days.
