This is Macbeth's second soliloquy. He is talking to the audience basically revealing his innermost thoughts. Macbeth thinks he sees a dagger guiding him to Duncan's chambers. He debates if it is real or merely imaginary because of his stressed-out emotions. The scene illustrates the inner conflict he has over killing a king that has been so good to him.
