My pleasure waking you up...
The thing is that 3D and 2D+ relate to the same delivery of our reality. The ten or eleven dimensions as mentioned in M-theory require some brain power towards the less realistic world. Basically, what they are doing is showing that if you move in one specific direction that from that point on an additional movement into a different direction is a/ possible, b/ distinct, and c/ if you don't pay attention you can count directions more than once.
What their delivery comes down to is extremely similar to taking a walk through the mountains from point A to point B and then coming to the following conclusions (and I am using left-right, up-down, and front-back to make the path sounds as dimensional as possible):
We moved close the entire trip to the left, and after a while within the trip we walked both to the front and up, but later we move to the back and up, while the latter part we continuously moved down, first going front, then actually walking to the right, and then going back until we reached point B. The entire trip was one-directional (left), but we hit front, back, up and down several times, and one time we actually followed the road that took us a little bit to the right as well.
Confusion about counting dimensions makes certain people count them more than once. 2D+ takes a daring step in the opposite direction. Instead of stating there are more than 3 dimensions (or 4 if you count time as one), this theory states there are only 2 (but they are fields of directions, not singular directions because they don't exist as such).
