It sounds like a legit duty, Celestia creating peace by day by handling a lot of executive, administrative and foriegn affairs work, and Luna creating peace at night by helping ponies deal with their fears, concerns and insecurities. After all, one benefit of lucid (conscious) dreaming is that it helps you test out solutons to real world problems. It could even help explain her transformation into Nightmare Moon one thousand years ago. At the time, she was not adept at the art of (I dunno, let's call it dreamwalking) or ponies were just more superstitious, and her attempts to calm ponies nightmares ended up backfiring, either causing ponies to think she was causing their nightmares or they associated her with their nightmares on a subscious level. Or she simply made their nightmares worse because she had a habit of being a bit awkward and of course, was a dark colored, imposing pony with a taste for lightning ambiance. That or this is a new duty thought up by her and Celestia in order to give her a chance to interact with her subjects since they typically sleep during her watch.
