That scene, and especially that speech (the "Dagger Soliloquy") have generated a GREAT deal of critical discussion and have been done on the stage and screen in different ways. Macbeth is psyching up to kill Duncan (he hasn't done it yet), and he evidently imagines a dagger hovering in the air in front of him. He seems to see it clearly but can't feel it; then as he draws his own dagger, it seems to lead him toward Duncan's room, or maybe only toward a stronger determination to kill Duncan, and drops of blood appear on it. Oddly, the bell that jars him out of further musings and send him into Duncan's room is a real, down-to-earth one--the one he sent word for his wife to ring when his drink is ready.
