Scooby 509 is right. This structure would sound very odd in spoken English but could occur in a journal entry. It is easy not to notice the colon when translating
However, déjeuner is also a verb which means to lunch or to breakfast. Larousse was probably listing déjeuner as being breakfast in the verb form. Par example : je déjeune avec ma famille le matin -- I breakfast with my family in the morning. & je déjeune avec mes amis cet après-midi -- I lunch with my friends this afternoon.
