There are many different models of the dimensions of consciousness or planes of existence. These models originated from metaphysics, theosophy, Taoism, and Buddhism. The models range from as few as 3 levels to as many as 31 levels. The most popular models use 7, 9, or 12 levels.
Dimensions or planes can be thought of as density layers of energy or different energetic vibrations. They exist simultaneously alongside of our most familiar 3rd dimension physical world. They can also be called parallel worlds. Each dimension has its own properties and energetic resonance.
Our consciousness can exist on most density levels but we are usually not aware of it. We can access other dimensions in altered states of consciousness. For example, when we are in 3D, our brain is in a beta brainwave state (13 to 30 cycles per second). We can drop into 4D by altering our brainwaves to an alpha state (8 to 13 cycle per second). We can drop into 5D by altering our brainwaves to a theta state (4 to 8 cycles per second). Our brainwave states are altered through hypnosis, shamanic journeys, sleep, and meditation.
I personally follow a model consisting of 7 dimensions. Below is a description of each dimension. I encourage you to research different models of dimensions and adopt a model that fits your belief system.
1st Dimension (1D) Entities are elementals, nature spirits, and minerals. These beings are unconscious as they do not have individual awareness.
2nd Dimension (2D) Entities are plants, animals, and the little people (dryads, sprites, fairies, leprechauns, elves, and pixies). These beings have group consciousness. They do not have individual souls or personalities but share a group soul.
3rd Dimension (3D) Entities are humans. Energy bodies are attached to physical bodies via energetic cords and chakras. These beings have individual consciousness with individual personalities.
4th Dimension (4D) Entities are humans that have transitioned out of physical form but are not yet resident in 5D. This is the astral plane or energetic vibration just beyond 3D. This dimension can be experienced in the alpha brainwave state of 8-13 cycles per second obtained through sleep, hypnosis, shamanic journeys, out-of-body experiences, and near death experiences. A cord of energy attaches the energy body to its physical body as it travels on the astral plane. If that cord is severed, then the soul cannot return to its physical body but must begin a new incarnation in a different physical body.
5th Dimension (5D) Entities are spirit guides, teachers, Higher Selves, Oversouls, and the Akashic Records. This dimension can be experienced in the theta brainwave state of 4-8 cycles per second usually obtained through hypnosis, shamanic journeys, and meditation. A portion of the soul always resides in 5D while the soul is incarnated in 3D. 5D is often referred to as the Afterlife, Heaven, Inbetween Lives, Interlife. 4D and 5D together represents the Spirit World, the Subtle World, the Other Side, and Beyond the Veil. The beings in 5D have universal consciousness that all souls can tap into. 5D can be accessed
6th Dimension (6D) Entities are ascended masters (such as Jesus and Buddha, etc) who no longer are in the incarnation cycle. The Laws of the Universe are also in 6D. Souls in the incarnation process usually do not pass above 5D so less is known on Earth about 6D and 7D.
7th Dimension (7D) Entity is the Source of All That Is, i.e., the Creator, Great Spirit, or Universal Life Force. This is the highest, most refined, level of energy. This is the level of God/Goddess Consciousness. It is where souls came from, where they will return to, and what they are always connected to.

QUOTES
Energy is all there is. You are a latticework of energies. –Donna Eden
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There’s no such thing as death. Life is only a dream. And we’re the imagination of ourselves. –Bill Hicks
We come from energy and turn back into energy. We are all matter for only a very short time. Make sure that when you are matter you matter. –Unknown
Remember the high vibrational being you are. You are light and energy not this form that you temporarily occupy. –Unknown
The fact that there is a Beginning or an End is just a concept seeded into your mind by society. You are Constant, Continuous, Infinite Energy and energy never ends, it transforms. –Unknown
