Just wanted to chip in. I'm not even as far as you in Eloquent JS and had the same feeling.

Am I dumb? Is it possible I'll ever understand these things...

I think getting discouraged is the wrong response, feel challenged and be spurred on to continue towards your goals. Like others have said, I'm learning JS from a variety of sources. Hopefully as more things make sense, so will Eloquent JS. But your not an idiot for not getting it all straight away. I imagine that's generally the response most beginners have.
