I'm not that knowledgeable on this topic but I see a few issues with this.

What I'm taking from this is your trying to say that dark matter is the manifestation of space time overlapping on itself which is just nonsensical.
What do you mean "overflowing". space dosent have a size. In order for this to work there would need to be a greater reference point which would encompass the entire universe (at least I think that's how it works) which dosent exist.
What would that overflow appear to us as?
Space time cant warp itself
The wave idea just does not make sense.
How could the expanding universe create mirages? And what "physical manifestations" would occur.

I'm pretty sure some one more knowledgeable can go into the details.

LIGO is currently detecting gravitational waves which warp spacetime. If these waves form crests and troughs then can't there be constructive interference and generate a very high peak? Certainly that would have an unusual effect. If dark energy is stretching everything apart, that's the expansion we observe, so surely there must be a size somewhere.

Gravitational waves are caused by the bending of space time not the other way around
