Instead of imagining dimensions as purely axes of Cartesian space, imagine them as simply a quantifiable measure of something. It could be intensity (of light for example), XYZ position, time, color, number of sneezes, whatever. Now a vector can be imagined as a change of some quality (or qualities) of an object in the reference frame of some combination of dimensions. That’s it.
