According to M-Theory, the 4th dimension allows a person to see there own time-line, it has nothing to do with how you look. When looking into dimensions, there are two main rules that apply as standard:
1) You can interact with every dimension below yours and
2) You can percieve one dimension above yours.
So we can interact with dimensions one, two, and three, and we can percieve and are bound by the laws and effects of time.

There are no special 4-D or 5-D spatial dimensions. The first three dimensions are spatial, the 4th to 10th are just different configurations of time.

Let me star of to warn you, I am telling the information I have read, this is how I understand it. I am currently reading a book called Hyperspace, by Michio Kaku.
1st Dimension: width
2nd Dimension: width, height
3rd Dimension: width, height, depth
4th Dimension: width, height, depth, ???
A 4 dimensional creature views the 3rd dimension. They see 3d objects at every single angle possible.
A 3 dimensional creature views the 2nd dimension.
We are 3 dimensional, we cannot see 3d, but we can perceive it.
If we where to see a 4 dimensional being, it would be like a moving, changing blob, if it enters our dimension. Normally, they are invisible, because we have 3d brains, not 4d brains.
If a 2nd dimensional being sees us, it sees our cross section, if we put our hand into a 2nd dimensional world it will see the 4 longest fingers as circles, and slowly change as it goes down.
Have you ever made a paper cube as a child? If you have, you will remember this shape.
This is the same thing for a 4 dimensional object.
If you fold it up, it will become 4 dimensional. (Which is impossible for a 3d being like us)
A 4d being is able to see us like we see 2d worlds, everything at once. They can see inside us, around us, and everything. They can move through walls, because our laws don't apply to them.
What are your thoughts on this? Could the 4d beings be our gods who are all seeing?
Has anyone ever seen a floating blob of sorts?
Edit for grammar.

According to string theory, the 4th dimension is duration/time.
To look at ourselves in the 4th dimension is to see our past, our present and our future all at once like "a long undulating snake" ... anyone seen Donnie Darko?
This video explains the string theory's explanation of dimension simply yet elegantly.

That is a very nice explanation ... have you seen this vid?

Here's another one for you - "The Cube" It's a science fiction movie about 6 people trapped in a Rubik's cube type contraption. They spend their time trying to escape by trying to figure out how to move from cube to cube, safely, based on knowledge of previous cubes. They don't know how or why they came to be in the cube. One of the characters figures out that numbers on the doors of each connected cube contain clues for its successful negotiation. I don't want to give away the solution. This is a 'must-see' film.
I am not sure how this movie would relate to you inquisitions of the fourth dimension, but was thinking that this movie might be of interest.
Going back to Sagan...suggestive symbolism. As someone who has studied lightly both fields of play, it's hard to get that wool toque over me eyes b'y, if you follow my meaning.

Well, I'm not sure I follow you. Lady Gaga, crystal fabric, time/space, arbitrary this and that, but it's way too difficult for me to get what you mean. Explain it slower? Fewer leaps...

I don't follow your meaning... What wool? What symbolism? What fields?
