I'm not into that dimension stuff, but a dot has to appear at least in 1 dimension in order to be recognised as a dot. 

You are thinking too literally.  If we are going to be that literal then there is no 1D or 2D.  Everything in reality is 3D.  A sheet of paper is 3D, because it has thickness even if it is very small.  The TV screen is also 3D because the screen has a thickness just like the sheet of paper.

I am speaking in mathematical terms.  In mathematical terms, a dot has no dimension.  Like when you graph a point with (x, y) coordinates, the point is considered to have no dimension.  We have to draw it big enough to see it, but it is considered to have no dimension.

If you go with (x,y) then you gave your dot 2 dimensions by literally saying the dot is at (x,y). You located it at the coordinates of (x,y). That can only be done within a dimension. If you see the dot or not, doesn't matter at this point.
