For the last week or so, I've been waking up several hours earlier than normal and not being able to get back to restful sleep. I've never had this problem before, I'm just getting more exhausted by the day because I'm not getting to sleep much earlier

Then I find out other people are experiencing the same thing, same timeframe - around a week ago it just started for seemingly no reason

When this happens to me, I ask my subconscious to talk to me. Sometimes it does when I fall asleep again in very explicit and usually symbolic, but easy to instantly understand dreams. It's been... wild. And liberating, when I do the healing work.

My dreams when I do manage to go back to sleep are unusually uncomfortable, I'll keep that in mind

My friend also has told me about some disturbing dreams in the same time frame

I think consciously cuing the subconscious is key. Verbally, aloud is how I do it, but other ways may work, I just don't know them.

You seem to be fixated on some idea that there's something "bigger" happening here. I would just be careful to not let magical thinking cloud your logic...
