OK, but...
a) I sleep well, generally. I've got a large circle of family / friends and so of course there will be times when I will worry about people. I don't however wake up in the middle of the night worrying about things. Ever.
b) I wasn't worried about M at the time - I wasn't close to him, didn't feel close to him. He wasn't a big concern of mine
c) My absolute belief is that I was woken up. I've never before or since woken up in sheer panic and fear as I was that night.
d) I was completely convinced that there was something wrong with M when I woke up - an absolute knowledge. I don't go overly much on intuition - I'm a rational person.

I suppose the only answer I'll ever get on this one would be to be hypnotised to see how accurate this memory is. But it's still a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me which, given I'm now in my 40s, makes me believe strongly that it didn't have a rational explanation of me being "worried" about M, having a bad dream, then panicking. It's too out of character for me.
