Dune was exactly about our current situation and about our ecological, theocratic, political, and cultural struggles and how different group are vying for control through lies and deception and raw power and none of them know what they are doing. Did you even read the books?!

Of course, but the same can be said of probably any book you care to think of. Those themes are good story material exactly because we can relate to them. But Herbert was not writing Animal Farm. Besides I was thinking about the mystical shit like the prophecies and whatnot; 'lessons' was probably a poor word choice.
Feel free to replace Dune with LOTR if you makes you feel better. My point stands.
