What is the meaning of Macbeth's vision of the dagger? Is the dagger real or just an illusion of his mind?

Shakespeare's "Macbeth" shows that Macbeth sees a dagger after he brutally murders Duncan, the king.
It is a psychological illusion because the dagger is not actually there, speaking and flying in the air. It is Macbeth's guilty conscience that knocks sanity out of him because "Macbeth shall sleep no more". Macbeth is, therefore, just imagining the dagger there as a result of his terror.
