why can't I access a dictionary with an initial form field value from my django template?

I thought this should be the proper syntax in my template:

{{ MYDICT.myform.somefield.value }}

But I get a "can't parse remainder error."

Just putting {{ myform.somefield.value }} gives me "3" and {{ MYDICT.
3 }} gives me the dictionary value I want.

Am I missing something?
