Actually, the line of time is the fourth dimension.

Let me explain. We start with a point: an imaginary singularity that represents a point in space. It does not belong to any dimension. When two points connect, they form the 1st dimension: a line. When two lines connect, they form the 2nd dimension: the plane. When two planes perpendicularly intersect in space, they form the third dimension.

That's all simple stuff. See how it all revolves on the position of lines?

The line that connects a 3-dimensional object from two different points in time is the 4th dimension. So the "timeline", if you will, that connects you from 5 seconds ago to you now is the 4th dimension.

tl;dr Time is a line. This line is the 4th dimension.

And here's something I drew so you can crudely visualize it.

Actually there is no fourth dimension. Just as there is no third and no second and no first dimension. This is because we can't differentiate the space dimensions from each other. For example, if I point up words, which dimension is that?
However, what we can do is differentiate between the space and the time dimensions. We humans live in a world of 3 space, and one time dimension.
But there might be more dimensions that we don't live in. So there might be other space dimensions. According to string theory, there are 9 space dimensions and one time dimensions. But as crazy as it is to think, there might be three space and two time dimensions, or four space and five time dimension, or any number of combinations.

Do we really live in a dimension with one vector for time. I think we move through time and the myriad possibilities through our actions (like deciding to sleep in, not getting up at 5 in the morning), therefore we are moving through the third temporal dimension as well.

That myriad would be called the wibbly wobbly timey whimey.
And time dimensions aren't the same as space dimensions, one time dimension would be moving forwards or backwards in time, so tachnically it isn't a vector, it's a line. And I can't explain what two might be, but, no matter how many possibilities, you're still in only one time dimension.

You actually described the 5th dimension quite perfectly.

The lines that branch from the 4th dimensional line, the line that describes a possible outcome that could have happened, is the 5th dimension. Since there are infinite branches that could occur from the 4th dimensional line, the 5th dimension is infinitely large.

Again, another crudely drawn diagram in the hopes that you can visualize it.

Sounds sorta like string theory at second glance...

I personally think string theory is bullshit.

Braced for Red thumbs, but I'm so tired of all of the Dr. Who posts all over the fucking internet. Dr Who fans are like the Crazy Catholics or Asshole atheists of the internet. They need to cool it down and stop assuming that everyone watches the show.

everyone should at least watch the episode where the doctor says this quote. It is possibly the best one in all of the series of Doctor Who
