reawaken

Rouse once more

To reawaken is to wake again or bring back to consciousness after a period of dormancy.

The word usually applies to feelings, memories, or interests rather than literal sleep: The smell of pine reawakened childhood memories.

Something reawakened has stirred back to life after lying quiet: Her visit reawakened his interest in painting.
