A Spice orgy is the culmination of the Fremen Water of Life ritual. Once a Reverend Mother has converted the water from its poisonous state, the Fremen then drink of the changed water, which has narcotic properties.
Their inhibitions are lowered, some of their latent prescient and telepathic abilities come to the forefront, and the Fremen receive release from some of their pent-up emotions. Often wild dancing occurs, as well as sexual activity.
One of these occurred involving the Lady Jessica when she became the new Reverend Mother for the Fremen after she and Paul-Muad'Dib joined the group. Mother Ramallo who had served before Lady Jessica was too old in physical form to journey with the Fremen as they retreated to a new sietch and so passed on the water of life, Kan, on to Jessica who was with child at the time. Jessica then passes the converted drug on to Paul and the rest of the tribe which prompts a much heightened prescience in Paul.
