See :help 'dictionary'. You're using this option wrong. It takes file names, not a word list.

Dictionary completion is started with CTRL-X followed by CTRL-K.

Probably because CTRL-N and CTRL-P by themselves will start generic completion, controlled by the 'complete' option. By default all words from all loaded buffers, windows, unloaded buffers in the buffer list, tags, and included files are included in the completion list.

Put your words in a file or set of files and use CTRL-X CTRL-K to start your completion.

Incidentally, I just discovered from the help that if 'dictionary' is empty or contains the word "spell", dictionary completion USES THE SPELLING DICTIONARY. I have a new Vim feature to play with! My day just got way better.
