reawakenings
Coming alive again
Reawakenings are instances of waking again or being roused back to awareness after dormancy.
The word often carries figurative weight—a spiritual reawakening, a cultural reawakening, the reawakening of old fears.
The film chronicles the reawakenings of catatonic patients given an experimental drug.
Spring brought reawakenings throughout the garden.
