Should this be "remembering of a certain kind is like reliving"? I'm
thinking of recollections of distant events that are actually the result of
remembering a whole series of rememberings over time, and possibly (such as
in the case of childhood memories) includes material that other people have
supplied in the past. Would these be registered as "relivings" in the same
way? I have my doubts.
