My 1996 Nissan Quest minivan dashboard light flicks off and also the battery light and the brake light on dashboard came on while driving on the highway?

Check for weak or bad body grounds. Have the alternator tested as well as the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stors will do it for free. Also, check battery terminal connections and the ground from the battery to the engine block to make sure they are clean and tight. If the alt and the battery check good, check the fuseable link between the two.
