Think of one dimension as a position. When you’re in a car and you have GPS navigation system it doesn’t tell you the volume of space that the car is taking up, it gives you a point around which the car exists. One dimension is that point. Two dimensions are the direction that point is travelling and three dimensions are the volume of space that the car that point represents is taking up.
