Just like a solar eclipse, is it possible for a "lunar ecilpse" to occur?
As in, during the night, the Sun positions itself in front of the Sun (or the Moon follows a path that takes it behind the Sun) and the sky turns as bright as day for a few seconds?
If it's possible, has it ever occured before?

No...Think about what you just said for a second. You just asked if it's possible for the Sun to position itself in front of the Moon.
That would require the Sun to be in between the Earth and the Moon...which is impossible.

The sun is around 500 times further from earth than the moon is from earth, so no.
