This doesn't change the dash itself, but it does present you with a categorized view of installed applications. You can access it directly by using super+a, or you can just open the dash and tap tab to switch to it -- or click the App lens icon at the bottom of the dash. Anyway, it'll look like this:

You could try taking a look at the Unity Bliss Lens, which puts applications into category folders in the dash.
Instructions for installation:
- Download the package from https://launchpad.net/unity-lens-bliss by clicking the green button on the right side of the page.
- Extract the package into your home folder.
Run the following in a terminal:
cd unity-lens-bliss-0.1.3 ./configure –prefix=/usr –sysconfdir=/etc make sudo make install
Log out and back in to see it in the Dash.

@enzotib I moved the answer here after Jorge Castro asked me to. The idea is that the other question is a duplicate of this one, and the answers should go on the master question. I suppose I could delete the other post, but I'll ask about it in chat or on Meta first. Dec 9, 2011 at 15:51

This doesn't go in the dash, but it adds a classic menu application indicator:
