I’ve heard about this idea a lot, but on the flip side it doesn’t seem to make sense. Us as 3D beings can’t naturally encounter 2D things, just representations of them (drawings etc), but nothing in the real world that has just 2 dimensions. So how could it be possible for there to be 4 (or more) dimensions?

Some things may be not only just so complicated you don’t understand them; they may be so complicated you *can’t* understand them.
The human brain has certain capabilities and limitations. Unfortunately those limitations may prevent us from understanding everything. We won’t be able to understand them without an enormous amount of work, or maybe at all.
I’m not saying you’re too stupid to comprehend this. I’m just saying you might not want to put in the work. I mean there are some things we understand intuitively, some things we only understand through experience, some things that are counterintuitive and seem to go against experience but are nevertheless true, and some things that we will just never be able to understand, at least the way we are now.
