Default dash lights flash while driving

Last night I was driving home, going about 50mph, and all of my dashboard lights turned on and stayed on for a second or two. Has this happened to anyone else? What caused this?

I had a similar problem a few months ago that when I hit a bump my warning lights (traction control, CEL, etc.). We finally found that there is a set of ground wires all grounding to one small 10mm bolt on the inside of the drivers side inner fender just below where the hood closes on top of it. This was loose. After tightening it all problems went away.
