Depends on the situation. Some people say it when describing a frightening experience. They mean that they felt like they might die and flashes of memories from their lives came to mind very quickly.

Life is like lightning in the dark. It flashes for a moment, plunging us again into darkness. When it flashes, we can't see what is what clearly. When it disappears, nothing is visible. That is what the nature of life is. Before we see & understand, life ends. The flash blinds our eyes & the darkness makes the world invisible. In either case, we can't have a grip of what is before our eyes.

Life flashing before your eyes is the 60-70 odd years of "Life" that you experience before you die :P

It basically means that life goes relatively quickly so we must do as much as we can in the time allotted to us. Everyday we ought to do something useful and accomplish our objectives.
It could also be something soldiers say. That is, often soldiers are attacked by flash grenades, which temporarily make them blind and deaf, and they are easier to kill. Therefore, in the flash of such a grenade, their lives may end by enemy bullets.

Supposedly, if you have a near-death experience, your life flashes before your eyes. No one has ever told me if this is true.

All your memories of childhood to adulthood, etc go through your mind as your brain gets deprived of blood and oxygen.

It means it goes fast--like you get old quick and to do things knowing that is inevitable.
