I get sufficient challenge, stimulation and new ideas from my reading without ever resorting to a dictionary. When I learnt to read I also learnt to work out the meaning of new words from their context.
I consider using a dictionary cheating and pity anyone who can't read a book without cheating!
Of course those reading in a second or subsequent language have the right to any assistance they may require.
