In theory, as many as you want. However, the circuit supplying the receptacle(s) you are using has a maximum capacity before the circuit protective device opens (usually a fuse or circuit breaker). Since appliances come in many sizes / wattages, there is no single answer.
Some large appliances require a dedicated circuit with only one single receptacle, so that other things can not be plugged in at the same time on that circuit.
Conversely, a 15 amp general purpose circuit could probably handle 100 clocks.
first determine how many amps the circuit is fused at. then how many watts the appliances use that are on the same circuit. then you take the watts divided by volts (120) = amps....add them up.

Why do some lights go off in your house when you turn on too many appliances?
In a well designed house the lights are not connected to the same circuit as an appliance. If by going out you are saying that a breaker trips, then your appliances and lights combined are exceeding the rating of the breaker. You either need to rewire and balance the loads better or plug high current appliances into different outlets on another breaker. If you are not tripping breakers, but lights are just dimming you have a bigger problem with inadequate current supplying your house.
