Default dash light flicker/ what's up with that

I had a strange thing happen the other night. The dash lights in the car went dim for just a couple of seconds. Anybody else has this happen? It has not done it before or since the other night but I was wondering if I had any gremlins trying to get in. and of coarse the happens when the car is days away from being out of warrenty. thanks for any input.. rich

It happened to me a few times and as per the advice on the forum I checked my batt cables and they were both loose. I tightened them and have had no problems since.
