relive

Go through again

To relive something is to experience it again, especially in memory or imagination: I relive that moment every time I hear the song.

The word usually applies to past events—you might relive a triumph, a trauma, or a childhood summer.

Sometimes relive suggests involuntary recall: She relives the accident in nightmares.
