Can someone explain in layman's terms how time travel is possible the
closer
we get to speed of light?

How: Time dilation afforded by Einstein Special Relativity. The faster you
travel the slower your internal clocks runs with respect to someone
stationary or traveling slower. If someone 40 years old with a newly born
child were to leave earth (alone, leaving the child behind) traveling at 98%
of the speed of light and come back 10 years of his clock after he left, he
would be 50 years old, his newly born child would also be 50 years old!!

Google it for more information.
