Reflect Nodes mode lets you edit nodes and have the same edits take place in reverse on corresponding nodes. For example, you can move a node to the right and have its corresponding node move the same distance to the left.
This is useful when you want to shape curve objects and have the changes mirrored across their left and right or top and bottom.
Usually, you will start with one curve object that is more or less symmetrical, or two curve objects, where the second was created by mirroring the first.
