When we speak about the book which describes Dresda, we can speak about reality and imagination, both together. The author creates an escape in the imaginary and also a distance between him and the historical events just to give power to a personal experience. Starting from the second chapter, Kurt Vonnegut speaks in the third person about the life's experience of Billy Pilgrim. But we could identify common things that Billy Pilgrim and Kurt Vonnegut have. For example, both have a strong and great imagination, and they both participated at the Desdra's disaster.

As we know, Billy is a character which travels between different periods of his life. I consider that Billy isn't insane, and all those strage things that heppends to him are related to his war experience. At some point, Billy being in war, was taken as a prisonier and sent to Dresda, where he saw the firebombing of that town. When that town was firebombing all persons living there died, except the war prisoniers, who were staing at Slaughterhouse-Five. In my opinion, the story related to Tralfamadorians, is just a way to escape from a world distroyed by war. Maybe all the war experience remains like a scar for Billy. (MESAROS ROXANA LRE III)
