Although Billy seemed quite insane up until this point, there is a line in chapter seven that may prove he still has a shard of sanity left. After the plane crash in Sugarbrush Mountain in Vermont, Billy was operated on by a famous neurosurgeon who mended Billy's fractured skull. While recovering,"...Billy was unconscious
for two days after that, and he dreamed millions of things, some
of them true. The true things were time-travel" Dreams are a very interesting part of the brain. Dreams can entail either real moments that we have experienced, or they can include incredible feats that we could never accomplish in reality. When Billy dreams about a real-life event, Vonnegut says it's time travel. This just shows how powerful the dreams are, and how deeply the events have impacted Billy.
