He wants to draw attention away from the conspiracy against Caesar.

Decius needs Caesar to ignore Calpurnia's warnings because he needs Caesar to go to the senate so that the conspirators can follow through with their plan to kill him. He spins Calpurnia's dream so that Caesar feels comfortable going out.
