It probably means that either the brake fluid is leaking or the brakes are failing. You should get it checked out.
Can be that the master cylinder is low of brake fluid. Unless you have a leak this is a sign that your brake pads more than likely need replacing. As the pads wear the fluid level goes down. Inspect your brake pads.

If your vehicle has separate dash panel warning lights for brakes and emergency brakes, then the e-brake light being on while not engaged may indicate that the e-brake switch may be maladjusted or faulty.

If your vehicle has a shared warning light for e-brake and brake warning, all causes listed above could apply.
