The "official" reason for dimming cabin lighting prior to takeoff and landing is to allow the passenger's eyes to be more closely adapted to night vision in case of an emergency (aborted takeoff with some damage, a hard landing with damage, etc.) which would require emergency evacuation. The real reason, though, is psychological - dimming the cabin lighting just before takeoff (or landing) artificially creates a "softer," more relaxing mood for the passengers, helping to calm those who are nervous, or downright scared, of flying. This helps keep them in their seats, with their seat belts on, during critical periods of operation.
