If Snoke was able connect to distant minds at a distance himself, then who is to say that Snoke and Kylo were not standing together at that moment? In the perspective of Kylo Snoke may have appeared as lucid and Luke did. Surely Kylo couldn't incapacitate his master without the help of Snoke's force presence.
One thing I love about those flash backs is how uncertain they are. I liked to imagine that all three leave the truth obscured.
