Sometimes the best discoveries are simply stumbled upon. This would be a great example. For me, the whole spin/scene change technique has always been a bust. No help.
Lately, I've noticed that an easy way to change a scene is to fly straight up. When flying up, look far into the horizon, expecting a scene change, but not placing expectation on what you will see precisely. When you see it, fly on over and enjoy.
As to the "why" this works? Maybe it's expectation. Or maybe it's a nice balance between losing sense of the scene you are somewhat decoupling from, and the minds need to fill in the blanks so to speak.
A nice example of this would be my "City in a Canyon" dream in my DJ from 11/7. There are many others. This technique is definately something to try is you can fly well, but have trouble with scene change.
