It's true, but keep in mind that it takes an awful lot of practise and expertise to reliably predict what the brain is doing, and only after priming it in certain ways. For example, the dream one - they recorded brain activity while dreaming (with no information on what was being dreampt) then asked participants what they were dreaming. Then recorded brain activity again and tried to match up patterns with what they already knew from participants, with 60percent accuracy.
No one is going to be able to read anyones thoughts any time soon, in all examples they were able to figure out what brain activity meant what, but only after they knew what they were looking for with earlier tests.
