I see telekinesis as a biological or evolutionary power to be unlikely. However, I do recognize that technology may very well make these things possible. As C4 Diesel explained with his mouse example, I too have heard of such procedures and experiments. Why wouldn't it be possible to insert a transmitting chip in the brain, so that you could think the lights on or off. Just find a part of the brain activated while you think about the lights, connect a radio transmitter to it, and wala! You can control the lights with your mind.

Think about remote controls for your television nowadays, you are able to control the physical characteristics of an object from far away. That would have seemed like magic even 100 years ago.

I think it was Arthur C. Clarke who said that any civilization which has sufficiently advanced technologically past another would seem to be capable of magic.

I think technology is where such powers will come from in the future, not mysticism.

EDIT
As for lucid dreaming, and which reality is real, Phillip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle" is great reading.
