The presence of the fairies in the play can grate on modern sensibilities, since nobody believes that they are real. But they were not included for verisimilitude; in Shakespeare's day, people did not really believe much in them either. The presence of a magical world, a world of magical beings, centred in the forest, helps to reinforce that the people from the town, the lovers and mechanicals, have wandered into another and quite different reality, and one which will change them profoundly. When they get back, it all seems like a dream, but its effects will linger. By having the fairies invade the palace to bless the bride-beds of the three couples, Shakespeare is saying that this other reality is not so far away, even if we do not see it.
