relived

Went through again

Relived is the past tense of relive—to experience something again, especially in memory or imagination: She relived the accident in her nightmares, Watching the footage, he relived every moment of the championship game.

The word often suggests involuntary recall of intense experiences, though it can also describe deliberate revisiting of cherished memories.
