Basically, but they can cause false awakenings from what I read. So always do reality checks after these techniques. (If you're just hoping to reboot the dream for something different, tell yourself you're dreaming to avoid losing lucidity).
My very first LD snuck up on me, I truly wasn't expecting to get one 5 days after taking interest. So when I went lucid, things started to get blurry and shakey, I had only glanced through stabilization as I was still mostly working on recall.
Anywho, spinning can stabilize a dream if done right... I didn't do it right. So I spun like the frikkin' tazmanian devil and lost lucidity (I did another RC later in the new dream and regainedit.)
Second time, I spun to escape the 'void' (Collapsed dream, all you see is black.), I kept lucidity by repeating "I'm dreaming" as I spun, but didn't think of a destination while doing it. It did give me a new dream, but I woke up directly after RCing.
So read ahead a little, 'cause you won't be expecting your first LD.
