A "dry run" is, as you note, a practice for something, usually a sort of mock exercise to make certain that everyone is prepared and everything will work when the event or operation is done "for real." There are actually two kinds of "dry runs" in English, both American inventions.
The second sort of "dry run," first appearing around 1941, is apparently a figurative extension of the "dry creek" sense, coupled with overtones of "run through," which since the 1920s has been theatrical slang for a quick reading or rehearsal of a play or performance.
So a "dry run" is a rehearsal which, although it lacks the fire of a real performance, allows the participants to make sure that their effort will not be, shall we say, all wet.
