One explanation for how daemons / jinn could exist among us without us being able to perceive them, yet they can perceive us - is if we are 3d beings living in a 4d universe! There are actually many scientific theories to suggest this is the case based on strange phenomena we experience - i.e. why everyone perceives light travelling at the same speed[1] or the expansion of the universe [2].
So how does this explain the world of daemons? If daemons were actually 4d beings, they could see (and even interact with) us 3d beings, yet we would not see them. The same way a 2d flatlander (or stickman) would not be able to see us (off the paper) yet we could see it. We could show ourselves to the 2d flatlander by touching the 2d plane (paper) and it would see a strange shape appear in the sky, grow larger (the cross section of our finger) and then disappear (as we take our finger away) - similar to the experience people have when reporting daemon sightings (as if they appear out of nowhere).
This theory could also explain how daemons can transport matter across large distances in an instant (as with the ifrit who transported the queen of shebas throne to Solomon a.s. temple).
[1] Einstein’s special theory of relativity, postulated to explain how light moves at a constant speed relative to all observers, can best be expressed in four dimensions. Instead of considering space and time independently, he proposed a unified vision of spacetime. In his general theory of relativity, Einstein made use of the concept and described gravity using a dynamic four-dimensional model. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/blogs/physics/2014/04/how-many-dimensions-does-the-universe-really-have/
[2] New submitter TaleSlinger sends this quote from Nature: "Afshordi's team realized that if the bulk universe contained its own four-dimensional (4D) stars, some of them could collapse, forming 4D black holes in the same way that massive stars in our Universe do: they explode as supernovae, violently ejecting their outer layers, while their inner layers collapse into a black hole. In our Universe, a black hole is bounded by a spherical surface called an event horizon. Whereas in ordinary three-dimensional space it takes a two-dimensional object (a surface) to create a boundary inside a black hole, in the bulk universe the event horizon of a 4D black hole would be a 3D object — a shape called a hypersphere. When Afshordi's team modeled the death of a 4D star, they found that the ejected material would form a 3D brane surrounding that 3D event horizon, and slowly expand. The authors postulate that the 3D universe we live in might be just such a brane — and that we detect the brane's growth as cosmic expansion. 'Astronomers measured that expansion and extrapolated back that the Universe must have begun with a Big Bang — but that is just a mirage,' says Afshordi." - https://science.slashdot.org/story/13/09/14/1822201/study-our-3d-universe-could-have-originated-from-a-4d-black-hole
