How do you teleport?

After two attempts in older lucids, which made me wake up, I finally managed to teleport myself. Here's what I do:
I close my eyes and levitate like 0.5 m above the ground and start to run in circle in place. I think of a place or a person I want to visit and eventually a blue cap appears on my head. I feel the warp and I'm suddenly in the new location, cap gone. The success rate is so far 3/3, so I think I've found a perfect way to teleport myself. It even works with teleportation through time. :D

Very unique. Creativity is definitely helpful in lucid dreams! Just curious, how did you discover this method?

As for myself:

1) In a scenario during a normal dream, I had the ability to teleport by "writing" the name of the place I wanted to teleport to with my foot(drawing the shapes of letters of the word in the ground). I retained this ability when I gained lucidity. It was creative, but time consuming and unreliable.

2) Normally, I will first look at/think of the place I want to teleport. Then I close my eyes and jump a short distance in the air. When I'm jumping, I make sure to push my body slightly forward. The process produces a sort of BAMF sound, and when I open my eyes I've appeared in the desired location.

This is how I described it in my MM dream journal:

It's fairly easy, teleporting: With the intent of appearing in a certain location I jump into the air, and before my feet have touched the ground I disappear in a puff of smoke, only to reappear exactly where I need to be. I can't do it without jumping or running. To be honest, I'm not quite sure why. Though I suppose in a way it does make some sense- after all, you can't get anywhere without moving, can you?

I wanted to teleport, and I remembered the 'spin fast method' I've read about here and which woke me up two times already. I decided to give it a shot with my eyes closed. So, I closed them and felt like I'm being pulled upwards. When I opened them, I was levitating. That seemed like a good idea, and another one apperared: why spin, running in circle in place is better! :D I closed my eyes again and started to run. As I thought about the destination, I felt something appearing on my head and I knew, even with closed eyes, that it's a blue cap. Then there was the warp and the cap was gone.
Next two times I just did this again like the first time and it worked perfectly.

By the way: your method looks great, I will certainly try it! :) maybe right now, if this WBTB will be successful :D

I use a TARDIS, of course! (The blue box/spaceship in my avatar.) :D

But alternatively, if I don't have time to summon the TARDIS, I use doors. I visualize where I want to go being on the other side of a door, open it, and when I walk through I'm where I want to be!
