MYDICT.myform looks up an 'myform' attribute on MYDICT or the 'myform'
key in the MYDICT dictionary. Which doesn't exist.

There's no way the template language can know that it first has to look
up the last three items and then apply that to the first item. That's
the basic problem.

Best solution probably: just do the MYDICT[myform.somefield.value] in
your view and pass the value to the template?
