The apparitions came out of the Witches Brew , so, in a sense were hallucinations. In the movie directed by Polanski, the war lord of the title- DRANK the entire concoction in on gulp and then saw things coming out of the cauldron, which oddly seemed to be about the size of the Liberty Bell. The business about the Dagger of the Mind is certainly redolent to Drug abuse - and the Manson Murders.

Macbeth was led to believe that he couldn't be defeated by any man born of a woman because the first apparition told him, "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn The power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth." Macbeth interpreted this as a guarantee of his invincibility, not realizing that Macduff was not "of woman born" in the traditional sense.
