I have $10 that says bingo is getting banned as I type this.

on-topic, I have extremely accurate sources that have been cited that say...

Whether or not the real universe in which we live is somehow five-dimensional is a topic that is debated and explored in several branches of physics, including astrophysics and particle physics.
can somebody tell me what 5-dimensional would actually mean??

Well, I'm not an expert, but I'll do my best.

In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial and one time dimensions; i.e. physicists have speculated that the graviton, a particle thought to carry the force of gravity, may "leak" into the fifth or higher dimensions which would explain how gravity is significantly weaker than the other three fundamental forces. The Kaluza-Klein theory used a fifth dimension to unify gravity with the electromagnetic force, and now is seen as essentially a gauge theory with gauge group the circle group. M-theory suggests that space-time has eleven dimensions, seven of which are "rolled up" to below the subatomic level.

In 1993 the physicist Gerard 't Hooft put forward the holographic principle, which explains that the information about an extra dimension is visible as a curvature in a spacetime with one fewer dimensions. For example, holograms are three-dimensional pictures placed on a two-dimensional surface, which gives the image a curvature when the observer moves. Similarly, in general relativity, the fourth dimension is manifested in observable three dimensions as the curvature of path of a moving infinitesimal (test) particle. Hooft has speculated that the fifth dimension is really the spacetime fabric.

It has occasionally been stated the fifth dimension is probability, meaning that the fifth dimension is the full amount of possibilities that could happen or, in other words, alternate realities.

The dimension of time can be divided into past, present and future. Mathematically the present moment can be expressed as time t = 0, any moment in the past has a negative value for time and the future has positive values for time. The fifth dimension only exists with future or positive values for time. This is because the past is only one sequence of events (there can be only one correct real history) and therefore the past can be represented as four dimensional. Therefore at time t = 0 the five dimensions of the future collapse into the four dimensions of the past.

Those are some different ways of making sense of the idea of a "fifth dimension".
