Rails - May 2014 - Beginner's routing question: Redirecting to a different controller

I have a problem passing control from one controller to the next. Here
are the details:

I have a model 'Dict' with primary key :dictname. I have two
controllers, named 'Login' and 'Dict'. The application starts in
views/login/index.html.erb, where I have - among other stuff - an entry
field for the dictname. When clicking a button, control passes to a
method in login_controller.rb, where various authentification is being
performed.

If all checks pass, control should now be transfered to a page
views/dict/manage.html.erb , and this page should receive the dictname
as a parameter.

Here is what I have tried so far:

In routes.rb I placed an entry

    get 'dict/:id/manage', to: 'dict#manage'

In login_controller.rb, I tried to transfer the controll with

    redirect_to dict_path(@dict)

However, I get the error message

    'undefined method dict_path'

I thought that dict_path should be a helper method, which is generated
out of my routes.rb . Since this method is undefined, I suspect that my
routes.rb is not correct.

Note that I did NOT place a

    resources :dicts

into routes.rb, because - for the time being - I don't need yet the full
set of CRUD capabilities on a Dict, so I thought I'll just start with
the minimum needed, and extend over the time as necessary. If you think
that this is an unwise decision, please let me know.
