Alper,
Do you have sessions enabled? see
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#authentication-in-web-requestsfor
details.
As you are not doing anything special with your login function, have you
considered using the @login_required decorator on the dashboard view? I
know that some people have an aversion to decorators, but this may simplify
things.
