How do you do Flashbacks?
Also Is there anything better then CUT TO (not Later or Dissolve To)

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.
