Negative imperative

The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.

In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas, Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.

One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.

Having trouble understanding this

This question relates to:French lesson "Position of French object and adverbial pronouns in negative commands in the imperative mood (L'Impératif) in French"

These are both reflexive verbs. The subject pronoun has been dropped, so what you are seeing is the reflexive pronoun.
