Or point HOME to some other directory and try again. Chrystal ball says you have this cached from some MELPA access, because currently dictionary is neither on GNU ELPA nor on NonGNU ELPA. In a really pristine installation with an empty ~/.emacs.d/, if you type "C-h P dict TAB", you should get "No match", I think. I got dict-tree because that's the only one on GNU ELPA, and I have some cache from the last time I did "M-x list-packages".
