      We are seeing this behavior in 8.1.4

      record = Person.first
record[nil]
undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass      string.include?(".")
            ^^^^^^^^^
/usr/local/bundle/gems/mongoid-8.1.4/lib/mongoid/attributes.rb:272:in `hash_dot_syntax?': undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass
      
string.include?(".")
            
^^^^^^^^^ (NoMethodError)
    
from /usr/local/bundle/gems/mongoid-8.1.4/lib/mongoid/attributes.rb:297:in `read_raw_attribute'
    
from /usr/local/bundle/gems/mongoid-8.1.4/lib/mongoid/attributes.rb:88:in `read_attribute'

      I can submit a PR to raise a more helpful Mongoid::Errors::UnknownAttribute instead
