An example of a flashback is:

INT. HOUSE - DAY - FLASHBACK

This works also with dreams. But these should be rarely used since many people don't know how to use them effectively according to what I have read.

Rathaer than Cut To and later or dissolve to I use second headings. Second headings are for example:

INT. HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY

Jim wakes up. He walks to the

BATHROOM

where he looks at himself in the mirror.

There's no story interruption and the story flows quite easily. Hope this helped.

Just Murdered by Sean Elwood (Zombie Sean) and Gabriel Moronta (Mr. Ripley) - (Dark Comedy, Horror) All is fair in love and war. A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages.

A little searching will go a long way on your questions. This thread is 5 pages long on the topic of Flashbacks, etc.
