I was driving home from school the other day, and I came to a yield sign to get on the freeway, as no one was coming, and it was a relatively easy turn to take, I did not slow down. It was also uphill. However, as I was doing so, my Oil light turned on for a second, and then off. Being nervous, and not wanting to ruin my engine, pulled over, turned the engine off and waited for the oil to collect back in the sump so I could check it. It was just a few millimeters away from "full" so I put a little in, and went on my way. Later, I hypothesized that perhaps all the oil in the sump had collected to one side away from the scavenger, hence the drop in oil pressure. Is this possible? Thanks.

Yeah its possible. The wire to the sending unit grounding out or a sending unit with a lot of crud on it is even more possible.
