we would be limited to perceive only 3 of the 4 dimensions that the object exists in. So conceivably we may be inundated with 4 dimensional objects/beings and simply are unable to perceive it.

If they are completely stationary, of course. The second they start to move, we will smell something fishy, because objects/beings in our universe don't suddenly start to grow or shrink. Or they could move very fast, and we would just think they disappeared.

Have you read Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange World"? There was a bit where one throws a sharp object at another and the guy makes it "go away" - it looks like it is getting smaller and disappearing from all angles, because it is moving at 90 degree angles from all three dimensions...

you will perceive that a Female, in Flatland, is a creature by no means to be trifled with

Some things don't change with no of dimensions, I guess :-)
