If something "dawns on" you, it means that you suddenly understood or realized something.
Dawn is sunrise, the first appearance of sunlight in the morning. So you suddenly see the light, or rather the truth or situation clearly.
For example: Just after I left my apartment, it dawned on me that I locked my keys inside.
