It's all in your point of view. He didn't think himself insane. He lived happily inside his fantasy world. The problem was, he affected those around him quite a bit.
We all build castles in the air. Unlike Don Quixote, most of us know when to come back to reality.

Neither one. Cervantes wrote the character as a metaphor of a searcher who tries to validate himself in front of his Dulcinea, with an interesting preview of romantic love not yet popular at the time when he wrote the novel. Also a guide to conquest and get-rich-by-doing-nothing-but-stealing, which was typical Spaniard way XV century.

a dreamer whom the world perceived as crazy...
it happens to us all, everyday... that's one reason for which i believe we hold back on our dreams: we are afraid to be considered insane by our peers.
