Happens to me all the time too... Unless the next destination is within direct line of sight of where I am or maybe an intense sequence, it seems to cut over especially in non-lucids. My lucids seem to be a little more linear, a lot of times I attribute the cuts in those to lapses in my recall and not necessarily the dream itself. Maybe it's the same cause in both? Never really put that much thought into it. I don't intentionally cut scenes in my lucids just because I enjoy the linear progression (unless you count the occasional door teleport). Maybe in regular dreams our subconscious just does that to "get on with it" and cut out the boring parts.
