Most of the scenes in Dune are like that (not the book iitself, where the events must be taking place over several years)
The dialog in particular, where it takes a few pages to describe what must be happening very quickly in realtime (Paul/Jamis fight, Paul's test with the Gom Jabar & pain induction box, almost any dialog involving the Bene Gesserit where the subtext needs to be explained, etc.)
