I've only had a few dreams like this when I've been lucid, and that was by accident, not intentional. In one dream, in which I was aware that I was dreaming, I lifted furniture and lifted myself off the ground until I realized that these things are not possible and I was not able to do them anymore, even though I was still lucid.

Your dreams may be a compensation for some feelings of powerlessness you are experiencing in reality. It could be job related, or you feel you are trapped in an unhealthy relationship, and the dream is giving you an alternative. Perhaps has a means to give you more strength and assertiveness.

I used to have dreams about telekinesis a lot, especially during a time of my life when I was reading about the subject in various books on the occult and parapsychology. I was convinced I still knew how to do it for the fist few seconds after I woke up. I still give it a try sometimes, but haven't got it to work yet in waking life.

I see there's another thread on the same topic.
