"me dei conta de algo"


Explanation:
Normally "settled over me" would be translated as "tomou conta" como em
http://www.capjournal.com/news/wwii-pilot-howard-snyder-s-ta... ([...]and peaceful quiet settled over me.)

e

https://istoe.com.br/o-dia-em-que-lima-acordou/ (Uma sensação de paz tomou conta de seu corpo.)

Porém, no caso de "realization settled over me", talvez isso baste: "me dei conta de algo."
