Explanation:

In Act II Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Macbeth, we witness a premonitory scene.

A premonitory scene refers to an event, a vision, or a dream that helps the character or the reader guess what is going to happen in the future.

In this passage, Macbeth sees a dagger , the handle toward his hand. This precise position indicates that Macbeth will use the dagger as a weapon.

The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.

I have thee not, and yet I see thee still

Art thou not fatal vision, sensible

To feeling as to sight? or art thou but

A dagger of the mind, a false creation,

Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?

The words in bold affirm that the dagger Macbeth sees is only a hallucination, that it is not real. It is but a projection of his mind knowing what will come next.
