Is Macbeth mad in 2.1

In the section 2.1 of the play "Macbeth", Macbeth is becoming mad, the famous soliloquy about the dagger and how it is not actually there. It is just a figment of Macbeths imagination. When Macbeth says "I have thee not and yet I see thee still" (2.1 ,35) The line is saying that Macbeth is looking at a dagger but he can not grab it, because he is just imagining it. Macbeth also says "I see thee still. And on the blade and dudgeon gouts of blood."(2.1, 45-46) Macbeth is saying he sees blood on the dagger, most likely picturing it after he murders Duncan. Macbeth is definitely mad.
