Dawn is the beginning of a day. Dawning is the beginning (of something).

"It dawned on you" is the beginning of a thought or realization.

Examples:

It dawned on me why mom wanted me to come home quickly. Grandpa must have taken a turn for the worse.

Looking at their test papers, it dawned on some of the class that the question said World War 3, not World War 2. There has never been WW3, so everyone who answered got the question wrong.

As I thought about my father, it dawned on me how much he had sacrificed for me.
