It happens regularly to me. Also I have experienced a strange rippling moving down my legs, excessive itching, unusual electric current in the mouth, and the list goes on. No idea what it all is, but my guess is that it has to do with the transition from forward to the reverse of the input output channels in the brain.

2. If I am in a dream, and I try to focus on how my body feels, I wake up. How can I avoid this?

wait until you are deeper in the dream state before attempting to locate the body.

3. Does anyone know a reliable way to listen to music in a lucid dream?

I have never had problems with just bringing it into being, so I can't offer any advice there, except...recall that you need to really comprehend the thing you are trying to recreate to SOME degree.

4. I seem incapable of having what I consider nightmares. I used to have a few a year, but I had a dream about the apocalypse, but it was not scary, and when I became lucid, I didn't need to change it, I just flew around. Does anyone else have a natural inhibition to dreams?

I definitely am not inhibited in any way in regard to dreaming of any kind.

4. Eat cheese. However, what you denote as nightmares rests entirely on how you interpret and react to the various 'scary' things.
